I am proud to announce that I have been selected to be the The Labour Party candidate 4 Bridgwater & Burnham constituency. Confirmed by Regional Director
I want to build a campaign, ready 4 the general election, that will give the beating heart of Somerset a Labour voice in Westminster.

Fantastic to hear that Leigh Redman, former FBU Brigade Chair for Somerset and South West FBU Retained Rep has been selected as the Labour candidate for Bridgwater & Burnham. Brilliant news Leigh ✊✊

The system is designed to try and silence workers' voices in the political arena. Don't allow it. VOTE YES to maintain a campaigning, fighting & winning union

⏰The Fire Brigades Union’s political fund ballot is now LIVE

✅ Many of the campaigns we’ve fought and won have only been possible because of the political fund.

Vote YES to renew it.

🗳️Ballot papers will be arriving via post from today onwards - return yours by April 29

The daily life of firefighters and control room staff is shaped by the decisions of politicians.

Every ten years, the union has to run a ballot if we want to campaign on the issues that matter.

10 reasons to vote YES when the ballot launches this week👇
