NEW: @wmpolice.bsky.social's Operation Skybridge launches today in Erdington & Stockland Green.

A fantastic team of uniformed and plain clothed officers will provide 24/7 proactive patrols to prevent and reduce serious crime.

I know many are concerned and I'm pleased this action is being taken.

Cultural beliefs or personal reasons can often become barriers to exercise amongst older people.

At @commonshealth.bsky.social , I asked Prof Elizabeth Orton of @uniofnottingham.bsky.social about the opportunities for diverse communities.

At @commonshealth.bsky.social today, I asked @nihrhapru.bsky.social's Prof Cris Todd about exercise to prevent frailty in older people.

Exercises like tai chi and yoga were common ways to keep older people exercising, but these successful programs often disappear when the initial funding dries up.

At the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, we pause to remember.

It was an honour to join the moving Remembrance ceremony at Abbey Catholic Primary School today.

We will remember. #LestWeForget

Last week, I met Pastor Aaron at Charlton Road Christian Church in Kingstanding.

I was truly inspired by his energy, passion, and plans for serving our community.

I look forward to working with him and others to build a better Kingstanding for everyone.

Honoured to lay a wreath at the War Memorial in Lighthouse Church, Pype Hayes, today.

I said a prayer for world peace as we remembered the brave souls who gave their lives for our freedom and democracy.

We will remember them. 🌺🇬🇧

During our @commonshealth.bsky.social enquiry on Food and Weight Management, I asked Nika Pajda from @biteback2030.bsky.social about how mobile apps fuel unhealthy eating amongst young people.

With junk food marketed straight to our phones, it’s never been easier to make unhealthy choices.

Last week at the Health and Social Care Committee session for our new Healthy Ageing enquiry, I asked Prof Sir Muir Gray of University of Oxford about the 10-year plan.

A key focus must be to harness digital technology to boost physical activity among our elderly population.

It was a privilege to open an adjournment debate in Parliament on hoarding, a deeply misunderstood mental health condition.

Too many people suffer in silence. We must do more to support the vital work of organisations like Clouds End CIC.

Black History Month may be over, but our commitment to a more just, equal, and ambitious society continues.

I asked the Minister what concrete steps the government is taking to turn this vision into a reality.
