FORMER Fire Brigades Union (FBU) leader Matt Wrack looks likely to become the next general secretary of NASUWT.

The teaching union’s executive has named Mr Wrack, who was a thorn in the side of both Labour and Tory governments during his 20-year leadership of the FBU, as its preferred candidate to replace Dr Patrick Roach later this year.

He was a firefighter before becoming a trade union official and also served as TUC president in 2023-24.
