“WE NOW need to fight to kick the Tories out,” FBU general secretary Matt Wrack told delegates at the union’s annual conference in Blackpool on Thursday afternoon.

Mr Wrack slammed the Tory government and their austerity policies for bringing on the worst decline in the fire service’s history, slashing 20 per cent of the workforce.

He said: “We can’t endure another government or their anti-working-class, anti-trade union, anti-public-sector policies.”
