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.

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.

I’m excited to open the first-ever WM Business Festival. With 2000 local businesses joining to learn more about AI, innovation, sustainability and more - there's something to help everyone grow 👋 The West Midlands means business.

Last week, I joined Skills Minister Jacqui Smith at Xcelerate with Edgbaston, a fantastic hub helping young people gain real experience in hospitality. We met Kundai, a Commis Chef, who trained through our Path 2 Apprenticeship programme. By investing in our youth, we're investing in our future.

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.

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.

I’m so proud to see #PeakyBlinders: The Immortal Man premiere in the #WestMidlands. It’s a homecoming in more than one way. It was filmed here, produced here, and written by a good friend to me and the region, Steven Knight. Wishing all those involved with the premiere all the best of luck.

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.

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.

A fantastic Vaisakhi celebration in Smethwick today. The West Midlands is stronger because of the communities and cultures that make this region what it is. Proud to be Mayor for every part of our region.

Landry: "Greenland needs a deal. Greenland could be exporting 2 million barrels of oil a day right now. Think about what kind of pressure that would relieve in the Strait of Hormuz, what kind of leverage that would give America. It's time for the Danes to come to the table and let's get a deal done"

You can’t import another country’s vaccine policy without first importing their actual healthcare system. Our vaccine recommendations fill structural gaps in our healthcare system, which is widely regarded as fragmented, inaccessible to many, and riven with inequalities.

DEMOCRAT BAD ARGUMENT: The argument, ''Trump must be a pedo cause he doesn't sue people who accuse him of it''. This is the argument from silence fallacy. This is not evidence. This is not logic. This is a textbook example of faulty reasoning.

AI can be used ethically for pre-visualization or social media, low budget comedy & political satire. If an artist like Madonna appears in her own artistic expression why not. The problem is when jobs are eliminated by stealing the art of humanity. Turning artists into slaves & digital rape is evil
