Guido Wrack-rets to report that the Fire Brigades Union has now announced Matt Wrack’s failure to be re-elected as General Secretary. He lost in a ballot to rival Steve Wright…
Wrack lists some of his achievements on X and finishes:
“I leave the FBU with my head held high. Since the age of 16 I have been an active anti -racist, anti-fascist. I became a socialist as a teenager and I have been a trade unionist all my working life. My views and values have not changed and I will continue that fight.”
He also says “much of the FBU’s work in that time is only now coming to fruition.“ He won’t be at the helm for it…
Paula Barker, Liverpool Wavertree MP backing Andy Burnham, told Times Radio there wouldn’t be trouble from the markets under Burnham:
“The markets will have to fall in line.”
