The asylum seekers forced on board the Bibby Stockholm have endured a living nightmare. Labour is right to close it - and these dangerous, inhumane conditions must never be recreated. The government must work to end the cruelty and division the barge represents.

Nottinghamshire FBU has some fantastic health and safety reps. Decon has become a real focus point for us, thanks to the hard work of our Union. Shannon, our health and safety rep will be visiting branches across the county with some useful information for all of our members

If you're attacking firefighters or stopping them doing their jobs you're not "saving our children". If you injure a firefighter or damage a fire engine, you are directly responsible for endangering children. Injured firefighters with damaged fire engines can't save lives.

These are dangerous times. The workersโ€™ movement must offer solidarity to our Muslim brothers & sisters, and to refugees of whatever creed or colour. We must also organise to physically defend ourselves against the fascists, who have historically always targeted trade unions.

FBU presence at the protest in Nottingham last night as rumours circulated about a planned far-right attack in our community. 300+ good people of Nottingham turned up in opposition to the 7 far right morons turned up. We are many, they are few.

FBU warned about risk from cladding fires 17 years before #Grenfell. We raised issues re โ€˜Stay Putโ€™ from 2007 after a fatal fire in Stevenage. All warnings ignored by those responsible. Firefighters then placed in impossible position at subsequent incidents. The basic problem is

I visited the fire scene with Matt Wrack today & spoke to the crews, our members, about the conditions they faced on the night. Fire Brigades Union members were remarkable once again. But we should all be outraged an incident of this type has been allowed to happen yet again

The Grenfell inquiry shows residents and first responders were failed by construction firms, central government, and the London Fire Brigade's management. We've consistently highlighted the risks of cladding since 1999, and we will continue to do so today.

Seven years after the Grenfell Tower disaster, thousands of buildings are still covered in dangerous cladding. We need action on the building safety crisis, and firefighters must be given the resources they need. Lessons must be learned. Matt Wrack on Good Morning Britain

"A grotesque ideology lies behind this horror story." Politicians' obsession with deregulation led to the Grenfell Tower fire, putting profits before lives. Every death was preventable. FBU general secretary Matt Wrack addressed this year's TUC congress as Trades Union Congress president.

Matt attended London Road fire station and we spoke about the devastating consequences of 14 years of austerity on our community. A service once of over 1000 employees; devastated by cuts to front line services. Like fire services across the country Please attend this rally
