Really good to be back out in Rubery & Rednal and Allens Cross wards today, talking to residents with Labour's candidates.
Special mention for Ronnie owing to the unexpected display of football skills!

Great to be back at Bellfield Juniors and Infant Schools yesterday.
It was good to hear the 'early adopter' free breakfast programmed is now going well.
Investment is also going in for a new SEND inclusion unit and expanded nursery places. The school deserves a lot of credit for making it happen.

I am sorry to learn of the death of former Longbridge and Northfield Councillor, Randal Brew.
He gave more than thirty years of service and was respected across political divides.
Rest in peace.

I was very glad to welcome Wes Streeting to the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital yesterday.
It's an exceptional facility and we had good conversations on support for specialist trusts.
Bham's NHS waiting lists are down 20% under Labour. Much done, much to do. www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...

It was very moving to join well-attended services arranged by Royal British Legion Austin Branch Northfield and God's Heart for Longbridge this weekend.
It was a privilege to read from Revelation 21:
'Death will be no more. Mourning, and crying, and pain will be no more.'

Public awareness of dyspraxia is still too low, despite the efforts of campaigners over many years.
I was glad to be able to raise the issue briefly in Parliament earlier this week. (1/2)

The votes are in: MPs have REJECTED the Conservative and Liberal Democrat attempts to water down Labour's landmark Employment Rights Bill.
Time for the Lords to get out of the way, so the Government can deliver on their manifesto commitment to implement a New Deal for Working People in full.

We’re updating what children learn at school so they’re ready for the modern world.
That means strong foundations, plus new skills like spotting fake news online and understanding money, and access to arts and sport.

It's disappointing that an inquiry has not been granted.

No inquiry into 1974 IRA Birmingham pub bombings

Tory and Lib Dem Lords have voted to SCRAP Labour's new protections against being unfairly sacked from day one, meaning workers must wait 6 months for this to happen.
But this isn't over. When the Employment Rights Bill returns to the Commons, MPs can safeguard day one unfair dismissal protections.

I was at West Midlands Pension Fund's headquarters yesterday to raise delays in payments.
I've helped a number of constituents whose entitlements were delayed. If any former local government workers who are constituents are still affected then please let me know.

This is what the Resolution Foundation actually said about the Employment Rights Bill in July:
'[The Bill] is a big deal for low-paid workers, but will have a negligible impact on the economy... the UK’s labour market will remain lightly regulated by international standards.'

It's pathetic that Chris Philp and the rest of the Conservative frontbench will not (or cannot) call a racist statement what it is.
Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp repeatedly refusing to say that he thinks Reform MP Sarah Pochin saying she doesn't like seeing black people on TV was racist.
Says he wouldn't use her "language" but it's right for her to express "legitimate concerns" about migration

It's hard to understand why the Assisted Dying Bill Committee in the Lords won't take written evidence.
The Bill has changed significantly since the Commons Committee took evidence, particularly in relation to younger people, and important voices will not now be heard.
