Firefighters are thanking Barnet and Camden voters for electing Andrew Dismore to replace the disastrous Brian Coleman. Coleman was Boris Johnson’s appointee as chair of the London Fire Authority, a position which also propelled him into a key role in the fire service nationally.
Coleman championed fire service privatisation in London and across the fire service.
Matt Wrack, FBU General Secretary said: “We congratulate Andrews Dismore on his election. Firefighters from across the UK would like to thank the voters of Barnet and Camden for booting out Coleman.
“Firefighters are as glad to see the back of him as his former constituents are. London firefighters in particular will now be hoping for a fresh start for industrial relations in the London fire service.”
