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.

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.

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.

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.

Women make up 51% of Birmingham’s population, yet it’s disappointing to see fewer women councillors representing our communities. Labour remains the most gender-balanced group on the council. Meanwhile, Reform’s is only 30% women, and the Conservatives trail with a shocking 14%.

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.

Harold Wilson refused to drag Britain into Vietnam, and history proved him right. Now Keir Starmer is doing the same. National interest first. Always. 🇬🇧

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.

We need more women putting themselves forward for leadership, which is why it’s great to see Cllr Nicky Brennan leading Birmingham Labour, the city’s only female political group leader. Too many women are put off by abuse & intimidation in public life. That must be alway challenged!

A busy day on Erdington High Street with Acting Chief Constable Scott Green, WM Police & Crime Commissioner, Simon Foster. Hearing firsthand from businesses about Operation Fearless and the challenges that remain. Good to see Erdington remain a key focus in the fight against crime and ASB.

In life and in the air, focus is crucial. Instead of wasting energy on circular arguments, use it to elevate yourself. Surround yourself with those who challenge you, not drain you. Choose your allies carefully and ignore distractions. 🦅

The DOJ cannot become part of a foreign policy strategy without destroying public trust in the justice system. Once prosecutions start looking political, the credibility of the entire DOJ takes a hit. That is a dangerous road. #DOJ #Politics #ForeignPolicy #ShanWu #NewsNation #JusticeDepartment

As a public school parent, I’ve seen firsthand the struggles that our kids are facing in school. California’s next governor must be focused on establishing clear educational benchmarks and supporting students’ mental health.
