🌈❤️A great day for Pride ❤️🌈 This festival has shone in Birmingham for nearly thirty years, and its message is just as important as it has ever been. Perhaps even more so in the current climate. It’s our different communities that make us what we are. We all deserve to feel seen, and be represented.

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

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 halfway through my trade mission to India. Here’s my update on what I’ve been doing so far for the people of the West Midlands.

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.

Inspiring to meet England kabaddi players Harry and Sally, both from Wolverhampton, ahead of the 2025 World Cup. I'll be watching as this year's tournament is held outside Asia for the first time - right here in the West Midlands. C'mon England! Make the West Midlands proud.

Building on our rich heritage to develop the future of the region’s rail through new stations and investment.

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.

Opening five new stations, freezing fares, and taking rail back into public ownership. The ways we are making transport better for West Midlands communities were the focus of our discussion as Heidi Alexander, Secretary of State for Transport, joined me on a visit to Kings Heath station.

I’m committed to helping the next generation into rewarding careers. At Freightliner I saw the enormous size and scale of the logistics sector and the vital role it plays in the West Midlands. Working with partners like Generation Logistics unlocks these kinds of jobs for young people.

Happy #WomensHistoryMonth! We’re celebrating our scholars whose books, research, and performances illuminate women’s histories and experiences www.gc.cuny.edu/news/celebra... @paigingbrenna.bsky.social

The corruption from the Trump Administration is sick. He’s negotiating against himself right now for $10 billion settlement. And it doesn’t stop there. They are out for themselves and the Trump family — not the American people. And the cuts from HR 1 prove it!

"Tomorrow I'll be issuing an executive order" on "how...people who are working in support of VA's state-run elections can react to...federal agents who might be appearing at a location & where the worry is that they're principally there to intimidate or scare people." bluevirginia.us/2026/05/vide...

Here’s your 9AM English post for Instagram tomorrow, Memorial Day. Today we pause. Memorial Day isn’t about sales or celebration. It’s about remembrance — for the men and women who gave everything so the rest of us could build a life, raise a family, and chase a dream on free ground. Freedom

Speaker Emerita Pelosi: Trump took $500 billion out of Medicare and $1 trillion out of Medicaid, took many off SNAP and the Republicans just stood up and cheered. All of that to give a tax but to the richest people in America.

If you need something to lift the mood please enjoy 50 seconds of my dog Hank. He knows Sundays are beach days. The cloud of dust. The head butt at the end. The land speed record broken! Have a lovely Sunday ❤️

The Lost Cause was a coordinated campaign. It rewrote textbooks, built 2,000+ monuments, and shaped films coming out of Hollywood. Ann Bausum has spent a long time tracing it back to its source. She joins us this week to shine a light for us. (2/3)

There are 25+ million uninsured Americans RIGHT NOW. Republicans’ answer is to cut 300,000 MORE from coverage to fund bombs over Iran. No debate. No vote. Just cuts. This must be stopped. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons. Rubio’s list still left Ukraine out. ㅤ Keating reminded Rubio that Ukraine once held the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal and gave it up under the Budapest Memorandum. ㅤ The legal word was “assurances.” The moral word was promise.
