16 Jul 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredFootball should unite, not fuel political division. Some Argentine players’ behaviour was simply wrong. The World Cup may not be ours, but the Falkland Islands are British. They chose Britain, remain British and will stay British. 🇬🇧
16 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasuredAlso at @commonshealth.bsky.social, I asked Baroness Amos about the @appgblackhealth.bsky.social's recommendation for cultural competency training. The Govt did not take it forward at the time. Given the failures in maternity care now identified, this vital recommendation must be reconsidered.
16 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasuredAt @commonshealth.bsky.social, we examined Baroness Valerie Amos’s review of NHS maternity services in England. I asked about Dr Bill Kirkup’s resignation, following claims that the report was changed days before publication to remove criticism of a “normal birth drive”.
15 Jul 2026Local GovernmentcelebratoryGreat to join the 2026 @APPG on Local Government Summer Reception. A chance to celebrate local leaders delivering essential services, promoting inclusive growth and tackling complex challenges.
15 Jul 2026Health & NHScelebratoryChaired another excellent Black Health APPG session on cardiovascular disease and the urgent need to tackle health inequalities. These vital discussions aim to improve outcomes for underserved and high-risk communities disproportionately affected by CVD.
15 Jul 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredJoined the Cyprus Parliamentary Event yesterday for an update from Cyprus’ Foreign Minister on the Cyprus issue, regional security and UK–Cyprus coordination following attacks on RAF Akrotiri. It was also great to catch up with the President of Erdington’s Greek Centre.
15 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredThe tragic circumstances surrounding Ann Widdecombe’s death have brought security concerns back into the spotlight. Parliament provides a range of safety measures, but public life can still bring disagreement, and, at times, real cause for concern.
14 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasuredTomorrow, @commonshealth.bsky.social publishes its report on Fixing the Food Environment. Our Committee looks forward to working with the Minister and Government to back the changes needed to help people live healthier lives.
13 Jul 2026Housing & PlanningmeasuredVisited YMCA’s Parliament drop-in on affordable housing for young people. YMCA Erdington’s 34 move-on flats give young people independence, but too many still lack a safe, affordable home. The Government’s Youth Strategy is welcome. We must go further.
13 Jul 2026Health & NHScelebratoryGreat news for our community! 3 local GP surgeries are among the 20 highest-rated by patients in the West Midlands. 👏🏿 ✅ Kingsbury Road Medical Centre, Erdington — 93% ✅ Shah Zaman Surgery, Castle Vale — 92% ✅ Kingstanding Circle Surgery — 91% www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...
13 Jul 2026Health & NHScelebratoryWonderful to speak at the Manju Shahul-Hameed Foundation for Mental Health’s Youth Conference. As MP for a young constituency, I’m proud to support young people sharing their experiences and shaping recommendations for safer, healthier futures.
13 Jul 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryIt was a pleasure to join the launch of the Spirit of Pakistan Festival, 14 vibrant days celebrating arts, culture, cinema & community.

9 Jul 2026Housing & PlanningmeasuredSpent the morning with the Minister, making the case for tougher action on exempt accommodation affecting Erdington, Kingstanding, Castle Vale and South Oscott. Councils need stronger powers to crack down, and I pressed for changes to planning laws so exempt accommodation... 1/2
8 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasuredThe Government’s Cancer Plan is welcome, but concerns remain about NHS capacity, workforce, infrastructure and whether it can be delivered. At @commonshealth.bsky.social, I asked the Health Secretary when we’ll see a detailed implementation plan to turn ambition into action.
8 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasuredAt @commonshealth.bsky.social, I raised concerns to the Health Secretary on Baroness Amos’ maternity review. The expert adviser quit over the report’s claim that “normal birth ideology” isn’t widespread, a finding that he strongly disputed on patient safety grounds.
6 Jul 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryCelebrated some incredible milestones at the Embark Learning Care Academy Awards! Honoured to present an award to a local constituent who’s thriving professionally after securing a role through our care employment programme. Congrats to all the winners!
6 Jul 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryGreat to join Pastor Aaron and the team for the 90th anniversary of Charlton Road Church in Kingstanding.

3 Jul 2026Local GovernmentmeasuredPlease look out for letters from Birmingham City Council and check your new collection day so you know when to put your bins out and how to present them correctly. 4/4 More info: www.birmingham.gov.uk/news/article...
3 Jul 2026Local Governmentmeasured♻️ Household waste and recycling will move to alternate fortnightly collections. 🍽️ Food waste will be collected weekly using the new food waste caddies being delivered to participating homes. 3/4
3 Jul 2026Local GovernmentmeasuredIf your household is included, you will receive information directly from the Council with your new collection schedule. While this is a Birmingham City Council decision and, as your MP, I have no say over how it is implemented, it’s important that residents are aware and prepared. 2/4
3 Jul 2026Local Governmentmeasured🚨 Important: Birmingham waste collection changes Birmingham City Council is introducing a new waste collection pilot in parts of Erdington, Kingstanding, Castle Vale, Oscott, Stockland Green, Gravelly Hill, Pype Hayes and Perry Common. 1/4

2 Jul 2026Housing & Planningmeasured📰 My June column for Erdington Local is online! I’ve lived in Erdington for nearly 40 years, so protecting our community is personal to me. The growing use of exempt accommodation is deeply troubling. We need a stronger response. Read in full: www.erdingtonlocal.com/opinion-a-me...

2 Jul 2026Housing & PlanningangryExempt accommodation is becoming the new backdoor loophole for failed HMO applications, with neighbours given no say. Some properties house ex prisoners, sex offenders and people with complex needs, yet oversight is lacking. We must close this loophole. www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...
1 Jul 2026Local GovernmentcelebratoryOne thing I often hear is “I only do it when the camera’s around”… but half the time you just walk into it and end up on the front page anyway 😂 Seriously though, Andy Burnham is a genuine leader, so I’m backing him to shift power from Westminster back to communities like mine.
