Fire doesn’t discriminate, and neither do we. Firefighters protect the public no matter who you are or where you’re from. The far right wants to divide working people with hate while they slash public services and fill their pockets.

Water companies have taken more than £70bn in dividends, leaving the public with leaking pipes and polluted rivers. It's time for the government to nationalise water, to ensure firefighters have access to clean water supply to safely tackle fires.

Disrespected. Hurt. Disappointed. Taken for granted. This is how the govt. has made firefighters and fire control staff feel after years of attacks on our pay and profession. But if we stand and fight together, we can win change. Our moment is now. #VoteYes #FairPayOrFireStrike

The government's trying to bring in laws that will see people forced to work against their will, restricted from taking part in strike action. It's absolutely disgusting and the trade union movement will fight this with everything in our power. Riccardo la Torre spoke to LBC 👇

When firefighters are sent out in crews of just three in a fire engine, lives are put at risk. The fragmentation of the fire and rescue service has led to a dangerous post-code lottery for firefighter crews. To protect firefighters and the public, we need national standards.

Every year the government and fire chiefs tell us that we have to either accept low pay or face cuts to the service - and then they force through both. Firefighters and fire control staff have had enough. RT if you support them. #VoteYes #FairPayOrFireStrike
