In yesterday’s Health Bill debate, I welcomed localising care, thanks to investment in Stockland Green Health Centre. As the Bill progresses, we must ensure patients’ voices are strengthened, not sidelined, and local representation stays at the heart of decision-making.

At @commonshealth.bsky.social, we heard from Salford Council's DSO, Dr Dawn Fenton, on the policy changes needed so statutory bodies can meet their responsibilities for children with SEND. A clear push for a national framework to enable joint working that would secure positive outcomes.

Following the 2nd reading of the Health Bill, we put patient experience and health outcomes in the spotlight at the Health and Social Care Committee this week. I asked Health Foundation’s, Hugh, what it really means for the future of care.

Corridor care isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s damaging. The stress, overcrowding, and exhaustion of waiting for hours in a hallway takes a heavy toll. At @commonshealth.bsky.social, RCEM's President Ian Higginson revealed worrying stats from a survey on the impact this is having on doctors.

Today is #WorldBookDay, a chance to share a book close to my heart 📚 The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been a bedtime favourite as a mother & grandmother, first with my children, now my grandchildren 🐛 Books help us share imagination, dreams & stories. Happy World Book Day!

It was a privilege to join many of you for Iftar during Ramadan. 🌙✨ As Eid begins, I am wishing everyone celebrating across Erdington, Kingstanding, Castle Vale, and South Oscott a joyful and peaceful few days. Eid Mubarak to you and your family.

14 years of Tory austerity crippled our community. Now, this Labour government is delivering: ✅ £20m Pride in Place for Kingstanding ✅ Nearly £1m for Operation Fearless in Erdington ✅ £640m+ boost for Birmingham Labour invests. Tories cut. The difference is clear.

At the Health and Social Care Committee, we heard from Institute for Government's Stuart Hoddinott on the reorganisation of ICBs as part of the NHS transition. The process appears chaotic, with serious uncertainty around future responsibilities, including SEND.

Honoured to host #InternationalWomensDay in Erdington and hear the powerful journeys of inspiring local women. This year’s theme Give to Gain reminds us that when we invest in women’s safety, rights and leadership, we build stronger communities for everyone.

Local councillors are the bedrock of our communities, local voices tackling local issues. Waseem Zaffar was one of the best, a tireless advocate for constituents, taken far too soon. A huge loss to Birmingham. I called for a debate to honour the work of councillors like Waseem.

Israel's Minister of National Security, Itiamar Ben Gavir attacks a female activist and says: "WELCOME TO HELL. The summer camp is over." The activists of various nationalities were kidnapped from international waters and now are being detained and abused by the IOF in Israel.

Trump: "The gay national anthem -- that's why I did so well with the gay vote, because of that song"

Do I ever muse if my gaydar was calibrated back in high school? 🤔 Never. Aside from a few heated rivalries, innocence never succumbed to any antisocial, passive-aggressive behavior. 😜 #GoForIt #RedBloodedWhiteAndBlue #gAI clip credit www.youtube.com/@BoyMoviesFi...

This looks odd and a bit conspiratorial, but the metal detectors keep going off. So there appears to be something to it.

OLDEST TALKING POINT EVER: ''J6 was an insurrection''. Never in history has there been an UNARMED insurrection. You come with guns, kill anyone in your way, take all politicians hostage then go after the POTUS. No judge charged ONE person with insurrection because THERE WAS NONE!

We learned that Premier Ford has ordered civil servants to halt all existing and new Freedom of Information requests across all government ministries. Transparency and accountability are vital aspects of democracy, and if the Premier can’t accept this, then he should go back to his sticker company.

Most industries are commoditized. Being “good” isn’t enough. The way out is a clear niche and a proprietary approach that only you offer. That’s what makes you stand out and win.
