The new Northern Ireland Fire Service training facility is fantastic. It shows directly how investing in our public services shall improve outcomes for our communities.

Ventured into a place full of great memories today, where I started on my journey of representing firefighters.

Really nice to see some familiar faces.

Our 2025 Women’s School is underway this weekend in Wortley Hall.

A fantastic opportunity for women in the fire service to come together, to learn together, and to plan and organise together.

Solidarity!

On Monday I was able to join up with @srtrcengland.bsky.social, where they were working with @safc.com to provide anti racism training to schools in the north east.

The FBU supports SRtRC and together we shall make a difference.

A fantastic opportunity to hear from Dr Julieta Lobato and Professor Matthew Finkin on the struggles workers and trade unions face in Argentina and the U.S respectively and of course the impact on labour law as a result of turbo charged neoliberal populism.

Solidarity to all on #internationalwomensday

This year the @fbunwc.bsky.social secured a huge uplift to maternity pay. More to do, but a significant shift that many will benefit from.

Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!

I work with some of the most wonderful people on this planet.

Although they reminded me I turned 40, they had a shirt signed by all the @leedsrhinos.bsky.social players.

They also donated to the Rob Burrow fund, so please do so too here - www.gofundme.com/f/leeds-play...

How cool is that!!!

Yesterday I attended the @fbunational.bsky.social Region 7 AGM.

We spent our time discussing Pay, Equality/Inclusion concerns and how we ensure this new Labour government delivers for our members.

Thank you for inviting me across.
