Great work from Labour’s West Midlands Mayor. He’s secured £1.7 billion for the region to build 1,000s of affordable homes.

The post-war Labour government had this great vision of garden cities. This Labour government is delivering on our tree planting promises , to bring nature closer to people with forest towns: new communities with green jobs to help tackle climate change.

Labour’s looking out for our armed forces and their families. We’re spending £1.5bn nationally upgrading military housing. Including more than 2,500 homes in the West Midlands. #PlanforChange

Fantastic News! Labour is expanding the Warm Home Discount to nearly 6 million families, giving 270,000 families across the West Midlands a £150 discount on their energy bills. Look out for the letter coming soon!

We’re rightly proud of Coventry’s history. We want to be proud of how our streets and parks look. Great to see @coventrycc.bsky.social taking action to tackle those who disrespect our city with tougher penalties for littering and fly tipping. Let’s #KeepCovClean!

Fantastic news for the thousands of families who in Coventry who rent. Labour’s changed the law to give you a fairer future with more security and stability for your family home.

Here's 8 things that Labour has delivered this week. Nutritious food for less for school breakfast clubs, boosting renters' rights, increasing fines on water companies to up to half a million pounds and slashing red tape to save billions. Read more on my website, and sign up for my newsletter!

Today, Labour has announced we’re working with Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Weetabix to deliver free breakfast clubs. Joining forces with some of Britain’s most loved food brands, we’re backing our schools, supporting families and ensuring every child gets the best start in life!

A joy to visit Martlesham Wilds in Suffolk yesterday with the wonderful Labour MP @jenny4suffcoast.bsky.social.

Happy Diwali to all those celebrating in Coventry and beyond!

I’ve secured £893,000 new cash from the Government for homeless families in Coventry on World Homelessness Day. This will help pay for food, laundry and school travel this winter. #PlanforChange Read more on my website:

I am appalled by this horrific attack at the Synagogue in Manchester on one of the holiest days of the year. My thoughts are with all affected and with the wider UK Jewish community. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx...

Straight from watching Keir’s speech into a panel discussing how to mobilise investment in nature. Great questions from the chair and the engaged and knowledgeable audience. @lcefuk.bsky.social

Onto the second last panel of the day, The Nature Dividend: A Thriving Environment and Economy with Minister for Nature @marycreagh.bsky.social!

Looking forward to Keir’s speech this afternoon.

I’m so pleased to have secured £20 million of funding for Willenhall - £2 million every year for the next decade. It’s up to residents in Willenhall to decide how it’s spent - anything from improving our parks, to fixing up the streets and empty buildings. Let me know what you think! #prideinplace

This week I proudly voted for: ✅ Day One Rights ✅ Strengthening sick pay ✅ Banning Fire & Rehire Reform and the Tories voted against it - of course! 🌹Labour will make work pay.

Wonderful to see my opening of The Meadow at Stoke Primary School on BBC Midlands Today. The first of Labour's new school-based nurseries in Coventry making a real difference for children and parents in Stoke. Just one aspect of the Labour government's plans to give children the best start in life.

Visiting Stoke St Michael's, led by Rev. Claire McArthur to meet Sarah and Gareth from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. John, a brilliant @cwgc.bsky.social volunteer cleans all the war graves twice a year, here and across the city. A moving tribute to those to whom we all owe so much.

Very pleased to see that Willenhall Police Station has reopened to the public this week. It is open from 9am to 5pm seven days a week. Labour's Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee and the work WM Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster are making Coventry's streets safer.

With new Secretary of State for Defra, Emma Reynolds, showing support for #BackBritishFarmingDay. Every penny of the £2.6bn committed in 2024-25 went to support farmers & protect the environment. We'll continue to make British farming fairer, greener and more profitable with our #PlanforChange.

Proud to introduce this ban as Nature Minister. Englands peatlands are our Amazon rainforest. Rewetting them 🌊prevents floods, 💨improves air quality & 🐇protects rare wildlife.

Great news for boosting skills in the defence industry which will lead to more secure and well paid jobs. So many people in Coventry work in this sector. We have several major employers who I know will welcome this.

Honoured to be asked to stay as Minister for Nature by the Prime Minister. Looking forward to ♻️ better to waste & recycling collections, 🦅protecting our iconic wildlife 🌳 planting more trees … as part of the first ever all-woman ministerial team under @emmaforwycombe!
