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
- Replying to @bplantgmbI support a safe space for our people to come forward with any concerns. We stand for dignity or we stand for nothing.
- For my son, who took his own life in 2015, and all the bereaved parents that I know. Xx
- 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-…

- Thanks to all delegates at GMB Congress 2023 for making it such a great week in Brighton. Proud of you all! Especially impressed by our first time speakers. Lovely to meet so many new delegates, and catch up with 'old' friends. ✊✊🏿
00:00- 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
