The choice is clear for Brummies on 7 May. Unity and fresh ambition with @BrumLabour or division & despair from Reform, fringe parties and so-called independents. #VoteLabour 🌹

This evening @CllrJohnCotton and I have written to Glenbrook seeking urgent answers.
The Electric Cinema is a nationally significant heritage asset. As custodians, Glenbrook have a public duty to protect it.
We will not stand for anything less.

Fantastic news that Handsworth is now the 9th Birmingham community to secure Pride in Place funding. After 14 years of Tory neglect, we've got a @UKLabour government working with a @BrumLabour council to empower residents, businesses & community leaders.

We have reached out to Unite to end this stalemate. The people of Birmingham want this resolved and the workers want to return to work.

In the increasingly uncertain world that we live in, I’ve joined with my fellow city council leaders from across the country to send a clear message that our cities will always be places of diversity and tolerance, where there is no place for hate. youtube.com/watch?v=ZCXkY-…

Suspect in custody after a horrible incident in Alum Rock this afternoon and my thoughts are with everyone affected. Please give the emergency services space to do their jobs and avoid speculation.

Today, your @BrumLabour Council has agreed a budget that will deliver a huge funding boost for the city, putting more money into frontline services for residents and providing a further £130m on top of that to clean up our streets, invest in our libraries, and tackle knife crime.

Honoured to speak at a moving event to mark four years since Putin brutally invaded Ukraine. Proud to stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, with our twin city of Zaporizhzhia, and of all Birmingham is doing to support those who have found refuge here. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

I can’t quite believe that I’m having to write this. Aysha was principled and passionate, determined, kind, and the very best of company. She will be missed by so many of us who were lucky enough to have our lives enriched by her friendship.

There are no words to fully express my shock and deep sadness at the sudden passing of Dr Aysha Raza - respected neuroscientist and passionate defender of the NHS, a tireless campaigner for equality - and Ealing Council’s first ever Muslim woman Cabinet Member. Aysha was a dear and loyal friend who worked relentlessly, not only for her beloved community in Ealing, where she served as a councillor for over a decade, but for social justice everywhere. Her commitment to fairness and compassion was unwavering, and her impact will be felt for years to come. She was a cherished daughter, sister, friend and councillor. She had an amazing sense of humour and a moral compass that made me proud to call her a friend, an adviser and an ally. My heartfelt condolences go out to her mum, family, friends and to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy will continue to inspire us all.

@UKLabour was elected to change Britain. Under @Keir_Starmer’s leadership wages are up, waiting lists are down and councils are finally getting the backing they need to repair the damage of Tory austerity. Unlike the last Tory regime, our priority is changing lives, not leaders.
