    The safety of our people, particularly women, and the integrity of our union is paramount to me as GMB National President. I support a fully independent investigation into the serious allegations raised around the departure of our previous GS.

    Truly honoured to have been re-elected as @GMB_union National President for another term. Thank you to lay members for putting your trust in me. It's a privilege to serve. Great to have Malcolm Sage alongside me as Vice President. #GMB21

    I support a safe space for our people to come forward with any concerns. We stand for dignity or we stand for nothing.

    GMB gas workers in 1889 won the 8 hour day for us all through collective action. They were the giants then, you are the giants now. My respect, pride and solidarity to each and every one of you. ✊

    GMB was formed 31st March 1889 by Gas Workers fighting for better T&C. Isnt it ironic that 31st March 2021 British Gas workers are being SACKED for refusing fire and rehire worse T&C 😓 @HazelJN @GMB_union @neilsmithgmb @BBCBreaking @SkyNewsBreak

    British Gas workers are being threatened with fire and rehire. Board members earn millions and have the power to stop this shameful act. You can use this @GMB_Union tool to email the board and let them know what you think. #StopTheBritishGasFire gmb.org.uk/campaign/tell-…

    It's been a surreal day seeing this video of me on Twitter but the work that @labourunionsuk do and the message of solidarity is too important to ignore out of embarassment. I'm proud to be @GMB_union and @UKLabour - join the movement today and together we can make a difference

    Three years ago today we lost our much loved President Mary Turner. Three years on her legacy continues to inspire. We will never forget you. #OurMary

    My total respect to you Debbie and all your colleagues for the courage and determination that you have shown. You have demonstrated the true meaning of solidarity, and the fight continues, as this is a fight for all workers. The shameful practice of fire and rehire has to go. ✊

    So by this time tomorrow I along with many others will be fired by British Gas. What have we done wrong? Absolutely nothing, we just didn't agree to their new contract that would make us work longer hours for less pay. 30 years of loyal service counts for nothing. 🥲 #britishgas

    I'm voting Labour because I want to live in a more equal society, where children don't go hungry and workers aren't exploited. Love over hate, unity over division and hope over fear.
