Why boycott the game I love?
Because some battles are more important than the ones on the pitch. I've written in @birminghamlive.bsky.social about my decision to stand with Palestine by boycotting an Aston Villa match.

So much appreciation for Burbury Street in Lozells! It's clear that residents, the broader community, Aspire & Succeed, and countless others have poured years of hard work into making it one of our most vibrant neighbourhood roads. And how amazing are these beautiful new planters?!

Joined thousands of Brummies and fans from afar to pay tribute to the iconic Ozzy Osbourne today. I had the privilege of meeting him just a few weeks ago for the only time—he truly helped put Birmingham on the international map. Thank you and goodbye, Ozzy! What an absolute legend.

Heartbroken to hear the news about Hulk Hogan. He was the hero of my childhood, making me believe in the power of Hulkamania. A true icon who inspired millions. Thank you for the memories, brother. RIP. 🕊️ #HulkHogan #WWEUniverse #Legend

Heathfield School is more than just a school to me; it's a legacy. As a former student, a current parent, and Chair of Governors, I see its impact daily. A massive thank you to our staff and parent volunteers for their incredible efforts in making our school greener and more beautiful.

It's clear: Birmingham's City Vision puts equality and equity first.
But to truly live up to that, we also need a fundamental shift in our economic approach.
Time to rebalance investment across all of Birmingham, not just downtown.

Mind blown meeting the founders of heavy metal, Black Sabbath! Ozzy, Geezer, Tony, & Bill were granted the Freedom of the City of Birmingham. Hearing them speak about their enduring love for Aston and our city, despite decades of world tours, was genuinely moving. ✨ #Brum #Ozzy #RockHistory

Really good to re-connect with Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander MP last week in London at a fundraiser for two of Labour’s exciting talents, Sarah Coombes MP and Liam Conlan MP. I made sure to express my gratitude for the announcement regarding investment in Witton Station near Aston Villa.
