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.

A £30m government investment to tackle crime on our high streets is hugely welcome. Erdington’s Operation Fearless showed that when we invest and work together, we can tackle these challenges and make a difference. I’ll keep pushing to make our high streets safer for everyone.

The data is in - crime is down around Erdington High Street. 📉 Operation Fearless is delivering and the best part, it's being sustained. After securing nearly a million pounds, concentrated policing and intervention is making a real difference. 👮 We'll continue to build!

I'm with with Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Iran! Tony Blair’s government achieved great things, introducing the minimum wage, roll out of Sure Start, but Iraq left a dark shadow that can never be ignored. We must learn from the past to guide our present and future.

This is a hateful, cowardly act with no place in our community. No one should feel fear because of who they are or their belief. Following racist vandalism at Jami Community & Education Centre, I called a meeting and am working with the council and police to ensure swift action.

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.

Today at @commonshealth.bsky.social, I asked the Minister whether the slow rollout of weight loss treatments such as Mounjaro risks creating a two-tier system. Those who can afford private treatment can access it now, while others are left waiting for the NHS.

At the @commonshealth.bsky.social inquiry, I drew on 25 years as a nurse. It's shocking that despite decades on the frontline, guidance for health professionals on obesity & weight management still seems so lacking. This must change - right across the health service.

Leadership isn’t easy. Sometimes it means making difficult decisions that won’t always be popular. In Birmingham, the electorate have spoken. Labour is neither the largest party nor in majority control. Meanwhile, Reform, now the largest party, chooses to hide in opposition.

We lost some brilliant, experienced councillors and candidates, but that’s democracy. The bin strikes have dragged on for far too long. Reform must step up and help sort this mess out, not hide behind slogans in opposition. Birmingham deserves leadership, not excuses.
