The best summing up of Trump i've ever seen.

Really positive for the Greens if that holds up. I know it's not huge gains, but who exactly is expected to vote Tory? In London and in 2026.

Even if they weren’t an asset, I would still want welcome immigrants, someone’s life and security shouldn’t be dependent on whether they benefit me or the country in which I live

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people. California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Off to Upton Magna and Shrewsbury today and enjoying all the Autumn colours. Have a good day. 😊 #gardeningfeed

I was interviewed while there (end of the video in the article). The police did a good job of dealing with people who, sadly, were aggressive and directly threatened several people, despite claiming otherwise. They do not represent Stirchley or our city. www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...

Today, Stirchley residents put on a family event, with music and chalk for kids, to show we can celebrate our city. The community came together to say we will not allow our nations' flags to be used to divide us or intimidate our neighbours. I'm incredibly proud to be born and raised in Stirchley ❤️‍🔥

Bei mir bleibt die Kiste Bier mit dem Auto holen und 8 Tote täglich. Das nehmen wir einfach so in Kauf. Warum? Warum sind uns diese Menschen so egal? Warum ist das Auto soooooo wahnsinnig wichtig? Warum nicht anders und neu denken? Für Menschen und nicht gegen sie?

Since the US-brokered ceasefire with Hamas came into effect on October 10, Israel has committed up to 47 violations, killing at least 38 Palestinians and wounding 143 others.

I’m appalled but unfortunately not surprised that an Israeli military leader would say something like this. But both in Congress and on the campaign trail I will dedicate every ounce of my being to ending the utter devastation in Gaza.

I've had a small update regarding an illegal canopy constructed at 2 High Street after several complaints from residents. The Council is taking enforcement action and will be following up this summer.

It was a pleasure to speak at the first birthday party for Dawberry Corner. For years it was a fenced-off waste, full of flytipped rubbish and weeds. Thanks to the tireless work of Suze at @ourscenecic.bsky.social and the community, this space has been transformed into a community garden oasis. 💚

To be fair, Kings Heath looks closer to this than a lot of Birmingham, but fighting for trees to be planted around the high street has been a dead end despite past promises. I really hope whoever wins the city next year looks at other cities and thinks... we could do that too, or better.

Last week I was in Barcelona and saw all these new trees being planted so they have more canopy coverage, new bike lanes, high quality and high density housing, little spots everywhere to sit and have a little coffee. We could have absolutely all of this in Birmingham if we are brave enough.

"Overnight resurfacing will be carried out on High Street, Alcester Road and Valentine Road in Kings Heath from Wednesday, August 13 to Saturday, August 16 between 8pm and 6am." www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...

“We are making the speed limit on virtually all roads a maximum of 30mph – this will be implemented later this year. We are also working with police on red light cameras and we have just announced six new locations for average speed cameras across the city.” www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...

She has left a huge legacy fighting for children and young people in the Council, and she has left a bigger space in all of our hearts. Birmingham won't be the same without her, and neither will we.

As a ward neighbour, she often felt like an unofficial extra wardmate, always happy to help me and anyone else in need. She had a cheeky sense of humour, a rock-solid sense of social justice, the ability to make you laugh or make you think, and one hell of a work ethic.

My heart is broken by the news that Councillor Kerry Jenkins passed away this morning. I can only imagine how devastated her family are, and I'm thinking of them now. She was an irrepressible force of nature who used her time on earth putting everyone else first.

Los Angeles residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the city’s most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

I had a trip to London today for the launch of a research report I’ve been involved in. Great to be in Parliament to talk about this important work. Most importantly we heard from some of the disabled people who had taken part in the research. These are the voices who planners need to listen to.

I’m not a fan of festivals as don’t like being in crowds. But if I’m going to one (because kids want to go) it’ll be this one. Much nicer vibe and ethos (and no fence so I can escape if it gets too much!)

Who doesn’t love a local featival? See you there. ‘Don't drive to CoCoMAD - there is NO parking. It's a local festival for local people or those prepared to cycle, walk or use public transport.’ cotteridgepark.org.uk/cocomad-info
