For years, places like Washwood Heath were left behind. Now we’re bringing investment, skilled jobs and opportunity back into the heart of the West Midlands. More than 1,500 jobs. A historic industrial site brought back into use. And long-term growth for local communities.

I’m backing the Birmingham Balti to be given UNESCO protected status. When you think of the Balti you think of Birmingham - and I think that’s something to be proud of, protected, and internationally recognised.

I'm proud to be working with people like Steven who tell the stories from, and about, where we live. As he says, the stories that come from the West Midlands are as valid as anywhere else in the world - and I champion all the creative people working hard to put our region on the map.

I’m investing £75 million in training up 12,000 young people so that they can get access to jobs or become apprentices. Apprentices like Joe, Freddie, and Aimee at Seddon who I met recently at the Millennium Centre project in Friar Park.

Our high streets need backing. I’m funding a Street Food Incubator Pilot at Herbert’s Yard with Digbeth Dining Club and the Nationwide Caterers Association - giving local traders the skills and support to grow from first stall to first shop. That’s how we grow our night time economy.

Last night I visited the Ramadan Streets event @birminghamcityfc.bsky.social and highly recommend it. In only its second year it’s fast becoming part of the community calendar. Events like this show what our football clubs can be at their best - places that bring the whole community together.

Our region is leading the way in battery technology – a visit to Global Nano Network in Coventry proved that! 🔋 They’re creating high-performance batteries while cutting waste and costs. Backing these projects is key to growing our economy and creating high-quality green jobs.

The very first West Midlands Business Festival had it all. 97 events, 3,500 attendees and 1,500 businesses celebrated innovation, growth and collaboration. Next stop, Venturefest.

Great to visit Stirchley with @alcarns.bsky.social today. The community here will be their own landlords. This co-op shows what happens when people have power over their own homes. Safety, security, fairness, and pride in where they live. We need more of this. 🏡 @coopparty.party.coop

I visited the WMG Academy for Young Engineers, where they are taking a career-focused approach to education. That means young people aren't just learning, they are preparing themselves for the world of work. Students like Obi-Omar are excelling and have bright futures ahead of them.

This is life! This is community! This is beautiful!

Rep. McGovern hits the nail on the head again: it took YEARS to get 9/11 victims compensated. But Trump easily found a way to give a bunch of convicted criminals & conmen our hard-earned 💰. This slush fund is a slap in the face to every law-abiding, tax paying citizen. Of course Trump is neither.

RFK Jr. must have been thinking of the film "Scanners" which shows someone's head exploding or maybe his worm was still having a gray matter sandwich at the time and he was feeling a little headache coming on.

Everyone sees this increase in control and is concerned, fascist take this anger and directed towards racial ethnic, or other majoritarian anger. We must ensure that the majority that is represented, is the working class not the white Christian men.

The website where Dominique Pelicot recruited dozens of men to rape his wife has been resurrected. How are the men who consider themselves to be good guys discussing this, the “rape academy,” the Telegram channels, etc with the boys and men in their lives? Or are you? Genuine question.

Corbin Carroll has eight triples in his first 49 games this season. He's just the fifth player with that many triples within his first 50 games of a season in the Wild Card era (since 1995). Only 2004 Chone Figgins has more (9).
