For 14 years, Conservative governments took £736m from Birmingham City Council, and to this day they continue to use them as a political football.

This Government won’t hesitate to support leaders in any way possible to achieve a sustainable outcome that benefits all residents 👇

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

The details for my next Advice Surgery for any constituents needing help and support are below.
This is a drop-in service; no appointment is required. If you are a constituent and need advice, or have an issue that you would like to discuss with me, please come along and I will be happy to help.

Here’s an updated starter pack for #localgov aficionados - folk who work in & around local government policy, practice and commentary. Slow to build as critical mass only recent- please let me know if you would like to be added…

A chance to see Billy Wilder’s Fedora (1978) on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social tonight at 9:05pm.

I recommend listening to this BBC Free Thinking ep with @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social discussing the film and @jonathancoe.bsky.social’s excellent ‘Mr Wilder & Me’ book: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Calling all Labour councillors on here. Give @lgalabour.bsky.social a follow.
