16 Apr 2026Defence & SecurityangryArmed forces accommodation scandals extend to new buildings under the last Conservative government. Glenart Castle Mess in was built in 2017 at a cost of £36 million. It was found to have 95% flammable external cladding and 'high volume of defects that needed to be addressed immediately.' (1/2)
14 Apr 2026EducationcelebratoryFour new breakfast clubs in B'ham Northfield open this week. Every child should be able start the day with a meal. And it's real help with attainment, attendance, calmer classrooms - and the cost of living. An important manifesto commitment being delivered.
13 Apr 2026EducationmeasuredIt was really helpful to discuss SEND reform with parents recently, kindly arranged by @bhampathfinder.bsky.social. If any other local SEND / family support groups want to organise a similar discussion then please let me know.
7 Apr 2026TransportcelebratoryWorth getting up early for this morning - the first Camp Hill train from Kings Norton since 1941!
6 Apr 2026Jobs & EmploymentcelebratoryDenial of Statutory Sick Pay was the one of the most important causes of Covid-19 outbreaks in care homes. It's too late for the dead, but what we've done today will save many lives in the future. It's an historic thing that this Labour government has done. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
6 Apr 2026Jobs & EmploymentcelebratoryNew rights at work take effect today, including extending sick pay to the first day of illness, and paternity leave entitlement from the first day of employment. All thanks to Labour's Employment Rights Act. The Tories and Reform would scrap it.
3 Apr 2026Housing & PlanningmeasuredUpdate for West Heath residents about the 'Groveley Garden Village' proposals.
1 Apr 2026TransportcelebratoryGreat to see new speed cushions being installed on Woodland Road and Norman Road, including outside the nurseries. This is all down to Esther Rai's persistence over many months.
1 Apr 2026Jobs & EmploymentcelebratoryMinimum wage rates go up this week, giving a pay rise to 2.7 million people. This is good news for working people – now let’s get on and deliver the New Deal for Working People in full. 🌹 @labourunionsuk.bsky.social
31 Mar 2026Local GovernmentcelebratoryThere's a spring in our step - out this evening talking to residents in Northfield ward. Lots of support for Esther Rai ahead of the election on 07 May.
