My visit to @primark.bsky.social at Fort Shopping Centre was another reminder of how vital our shopping areas are for jobs and the local economy. That’s why I welcome the Government scrapping the £200 threshold for low-value shoplifting, correcting a measure inherited from the last Government.

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.

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.

Reform is the largest party in Birmingham, but instead of leading, they hide in opposition. That’s not leadership. That’s running scared. Councillors rushed from bed, acting like MPs, one thinking council funds DJs. No wonder they won't step up. Birmingham deserves better.

Last week, I tabled an amendment to the Courts and Tribunals Bill calling for 12 and 36 month reviews of changes to jury trials. These reviews would assess impacts on ethnic minorities and white individuals from low-income households. Watch in full 👇🏿 youtu.be/V0plgsxdgvc

With the Health Bill focused on reducing health inequalities, I asked @thekingsfund.bsky.social CEO Sarah about the proposals at @commonshealth.bsky.social.

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.

You can’t bomb your way to victory in the Middle East, this ends with a negotiated agreement, full stop!!! But if Farage and Badenoch had their way, Britain would be stuck in the middle of it, with British taxpayers footing the bill. We need diplomacy, not an endless war.

At last week's General Debate on Allied Health Professionals, I raised concerns about declining numbers and the urgent need to grow the workforce. AHPs are vital to the NHS, the third-largest clinical workforce - delivering essential diagnostic, therapeutic and support services.

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.

You can’t force your brain to stop thinking worst case. That’s not how it works. Trying to “just think positive” usually backfires… because your nervous system doesn’t feel safe yet. So instead of fighting the fear, you build a bridge through… #nervoussystemregulation #traumahealing #anxietyrelief

A little owl was spotted in the middle of the road. The tour bus stopped, and the tour guide got out and went to remove the owl from harm's way. She released the bird by the road side. Not sure leaving the owl there was the right thing to do, and there was no mention of Animal Rescue being called.

Besties, quick reality check! EPA says they’re absolutely cooking on PFAS protections… Twin, that’s CAP! The safeguards that keep these “forever chemicals” out of our water and food are actually getting rolled back. And if you ask us? That’s a flop. Respectfully, EPA, negative aura points.

#Elite on the #Acorn #Electron is slow - way slower than on the #Commodore64, for example. But how does the enhanced 16K SRAM version cope? Turns out enhanced Electron Elite is faster than the #C64! Sure, it can't compare on colour or music. But... result! 🚀 #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcelite
