Firefighters line the Royal Mile in Edinburgh for the funeral of Brother Barry Martin. Today we mourn the loss of a dedicated member of the community and a brave firefighter. We come together in his honour.

The far right are assisting billionaires. When profit rules, your health, safety and well-being fails. At FBU conference this year, delegates voted on a motion to oppose the far right and their politics of division.

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.

Fire control staff are there whenever anyone calls 999 for fire. This is the reality of their vital work 👇 Now Merseyside fire control staff are going on strike to defend their life saving service. Show them you stand with them - RT with a message of solidarity

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.

Solidarity with the firefighters battling huge wildfires in California. With the climate emergency resulting in increasingly devastating wildfires and extreme weather events, it's firefighters on the frontline. Our thoughts are with all affected.

The richest 350 individuals and families in the UK hold a combined wealth of £795 billion. With wealth like that, how can Rachel Reeves justify further welfare cuts, affecting only the poorest individuals and families? FBU Steve Wright challenges Reeves' spring statement on LBC.

🚨 BREAKING: FBU WIN in Oxfordshire FBU members have been campaigning for months against dangerous proposals for cuts by Oxfordshire County Council. Firefighters' duty is to protect the public – and that is exactly what members have done. When FBU members fight back, we win.

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

Last week has been the final bullet for Keir Starmer. FBU members can't wait till May for change. FBU general secretary Steve Wright on BBC One LK, "we lost more firefighters last year under a Labour government. We will be talking about industrial action."

When workers are divided, we all lose. It's time to unite. Today, we're joining the Together Alliance. Join us on 28 March in London for a message of hope over fear. Firefighters know all about duty. It’s our duty now to take a stand.

It's time for water to be brought back into public ownership. Firefighters need clean, high-pressure water to tackle fires safely - but private water companies have failed to deliver.

Bosses and politicians have never given us anything. Everything we have, we've had to fight for. Share and tell everyone in your workplace to stand up and join the fight. #VoteYes #FairPayOrFireStrike

Research shows that firefighters who attended Grenfell are now suffering debilitating health effects. The government and employers have been asleep at the wheel when it comes to protecting firefighters from occupational diseases. Matt Wrack calls for action on BBC Radio London

Assistant general secretary, Ben Selby, has announced the results of the FBU 2025 general secretary election. Steve Wright has been elected as the new general secretary following a ballot of union members.

Birmingham bin workers cannot be expected to accept an £8000 pay cut. An attack on bin workers, is an attack on all workers.

Firefighters were asked to cross the picket line and collect bins in Birmingham. Firefighters are trade unionists and we will never disrespect our comrades fight for fair pay. Solidarity with Birmingham's bin workers! #megapicket

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
