Myself and @kareninsellyoak.bsky.social welcomed Minister @rushanaraalibgs.bsky.social to Selly Park today to show her the current situation with Supported Exempt Accommodation locally

We’re continuing to ask for greater regulation in this area & continue to work with @alcarns.bsky.social on this

I'm delighted to confirm that Birmingham City Council, UNISON and GMB have reached a framework agreement to settle the historic equal pay claims brought by the two unions on behalf of members working for the local authority and Birmingham Children’s Trust.

Putting power back into local communities is a priority of mine and of this government.

Our government’s desire is to take power out of Westminster and give it back to local communities, while working with local councils collaboratively to achieve better outcomes for the communities they serve.
