Can you let us know when Longbridge will get the 10,000 jobs it was promised. And when are they going To finish the site as it looks a total mess.
After the spending review by the Chancellor, I wanted to update you on some of what the West Mids will be getting. We are in line for around £1.2billion, and there will be cash for public transport, house building, re-training, and a Gigafactory. A good day in challenging times.

Come and talk to people in the community that will help
In fact, 99% of businesses in #Birmingham won't benefit from the grant scheme announced today. I simply don't understand why our Tory Mayor is 'delighted' with that.

Well done Birmingham.
We will light @LibraryofBham purple tonight to show our support for, and solidarity with, the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Racism has no place in our city or anywhere else.

Totally agree with @WestMidsPCC . So many people have made sacrifices to follow social distancing & other Govt guidelines.
PCC responds to reports of lockdown breach by Government Special Advisor: “People will now say there is one rule for them and one rule for the Prime Minister’s political advisors. https://t.co/ihopLANb2n

Today is the 3rd anniversary of the #ManchesterArena attack on the Ariana Grande concert. We shall never forget the #22Angels who died, nor those who survived and live with the consequences, nor those left bereaved. We will remember them. There will be a 1 minute silence at 2pm🐝

The courts stopped Johnson charging overseas health workers for using the NHS. Without this he wouldn’t have moved an inch. He never behaves decently unless he’s forced to. Court rules bar set too high for NHS surcharge and visa fee waivers

We’ve shown during Lockdown that we can put a roof over everyone’s head. Our Tory Mayor needs to get on board, join Keir Starmer and me and tell the Government that we simply will not allow them to turn their backs on rough sleepers https://t.co/micco0LiQw

Awful, why didn't Brummies in care homes matter to this govt
Tragically, over 1000 people have died in Bham from COVID-19. 1 in 6 of these has been in care homes. Our Tory Mayor doesn't know how many people with COVID-19 were sent back to care homes from hospital. Share if you think we deserve a Mayor who knows what he's talking about.

.@GaryLineker so true @Keir_Starmer led the way to make the change
Great to see the government change their mind again, this time with the NHS surcharge. Well played @BorisJohnson it’s the right thing to do and deserves credit. 👏🏻👏🏻

A reminder: Birmingham businesses - Please don’t miss out on your COVID-19 lifeline. If you are eligible for a grant payment, but we don't have your details, now's the chance to put that right. Find out more: https://t.co/81JbmKixR6

.@WaseemZaffar an outstanding officer I agree a true loss to our City
Shocked and hugely saddened to learn that our friend and outstanding @BhamCityCouncil officer, Ken Brown passed away yesterday after a heart attack. Condolences to his family and friends; we have lost someone who genuinely cared for the community and always tried to help others
