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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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 was delighted to celebrate the start of Chinese New Year with my old friend, James Wong. Following my recent trip to China, I was keen to ask him what #ChineseNewYear meant to him - as we start the Year of the Fire Horse.

🌈❤️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.

We're living in an era with fewer people in unions, while our economy is spitting out billionaires at a crazy rate. That's not a coincidence. I want more unions, more union members, and fewer billionaires.

Why promise something you can’t deliver? Reform UK promised to cut your council tax then denied ever saying it. Nigel Farage promised £350 million for the NHS then backtracked just hours after the Brexit vote. Which promises are real and which are just words? #r4today #BBCBreakfast

Back in 2025, after Virginia Giuffre’s reported suicide, other Epstein survivors publicly stated they were not suicidal and warned they were living in fear. Juliette Bryant claimed multiple victims had died under suspicious circumstances — while mainstream media largely ignored the warnings.
