Two firefighters and one member of the public have been confirmed dead following a fire incident at Bicester, Oxfordshire. This is terrible news. Our thoughts are with their families, friends and colleagues. The FBU will be on hand to provide support in the coming days.

FBU general secretary Steve Wright said "There's still time to abandon these cuts, which will plunge tens of thousands of working class people into poverty." 100 Labour MPs announce that they will oppose the welfare cuts. Full story here: fbu.org.uk/news/2025/06/2… #TaxTheRich

I'm calling on the Government to urgently rethink its proposed changes to welfare. Analysis of the proposals shows that the impact will be substantial, destroying the financial safety net for too many disabled Londoners ⬇️

Good to see the London Mayor and other Labour MPs speaking out against this, and doing so with an analysis for the Greater London Authority to back up comments as to why the proposals must be reconsidered.

I’ve stood proudly with our Firefighters for over a decade, from opposing fire station closures to taking to the picket line to fight for their pay and conditions. Great to meet London FBU friends in Westminster as part of their lobby day. Also pictured here is my friend Dave

Water companies have taken more than ÂŁ70bn 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.
