I’m supporting @CllrShaunDavies as the next @LGA_Labour Leader who I know will be a strong voice for Labour in Local Government across the UK.

Families in Birmingham are struggling with the cost of living crisis - yet this week the Conservatives are raising our taxes. Again. There is a better way. Labour has a plan - Birmingham Labour is on your side.

Absolutely devastated at the death of my friend and colleague Jack Dromey. A true Labour man who served the people of Erdington with passion and dedication, Jack devoted his life to the service of others. He will be sorely missed and my thoughts are with his family at this time.
Shadow minister, and Labour MP for Birmingham Erdington, Jack Dromey has died aged 73 https://t.co/HdwqakWQvv

I have just had the privilege of travelling on the first mainline-approved hydrogen train in the UK! Developed in Birmingham by @unibirmingham, HydroFLEX shows that #hydrogen has the potential to decarbonise our railways faster and cheaper than electrification.

My journey to #COP26 is going to take over 4 hours today. That’s twice as long as the equivalent journey in France. We need the Government to back High Speed 2, in its entirety, to increase capacity on the UK’s rail network, and fight the climate crisis.
