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.
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.
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.
Richard Branson hoping to send a rocket into space this weekend, coming as a bit of a surprise to the 3,000 staff he said he couldn’t afford to pay two weeks ago.
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 https://t.co/WrpQWyF2hq
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

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.
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. 👏🏻👏🏻
.@BalaamWood plus being kind to yourself and about yourself is a skill for young people to learn. Most volunteering is by yp thank you to all those who do making a difference to the community they live in
#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
The theme this year is KINDNESS. Kindness strengthens relationships & builds confidence. Show us how you are being kind this week, whether it is helping with the washing up, cooking, reading to siblings, we would love to know!
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.

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
