Smethwick hosted a moving Remembrance Sunday service at the Council House today. The message of peace and togetherness is as meaningful now as it ever has been.
Many thanks also to Smethwick Labour Club for hosting a pleasant community get together afterwards.
Go sister!!! 💪
@mrs_creynolds, you are phenomenal. After all you've done for Labour women and teaching us how to break barriers, I just know you will smash them yourself for our new @UKLabour government.

"@hopenothate identifies three characteristics that define a resilient and cohesive community – social connectedness, resource availability and agency and empowerment. I believe community ownership has a role to play in all three."

By extension, one presumes Chope also has a problem with fathers having a relationship with their own children. His ideas are harmful for children, fathers and working women.
I thought nothing could shock me about the state of the Conservative Party, but that was before I had to sit through Christopher Chope MP opining about whether mothers can lead political parties. 🦖
I hope Robert Jenrick distances himself from these unhinged comments.
60% of people don’t know that cancer treatment could cause an early treatment-induced crash #menopause.
In the lead-up to #WorldMenopauseDay help us keep the conversation going by sharing this video so that more women can be aware and access the support they're entitled to.
For centuries, women have been expected to swallow their pain. ‘Women’s bodies are shameful.’ ‘Part of being a woman is being in pain and discomfort.’ ‘Bear it’. ‘Shut up. Don’t talk about it. It’s disgusting.’ ‘Deal with it.’ 1/

In a heroic move, Gisele Pelicot fought to make public the videos of her unconscious rapes at the hands of over 50 men and won. She wanted the public “to look rape straight in the eyes.” Shame, she said, must change sides —from the victims to the perpetrators.
Police found more than 20,000 videos and photographs of Gisele drugged and being raped by various men on her husband’s devices in a folder titled “Abuse.”
On Friday, the judge complied with Gisele’s demand and showed the evidence “necessary for the manifestation of the truth.”
12 rape videos and 10 photos were shown over the courtroom’s three flat screens and projected into the overflow room for members of the public while the perpetrators in the videos sat in shame watching their own despicable criminal acts being exposed.
I’m thrilled to announce the first West Midlands Business Festival.
This festival, organised by @BizGrowthWM, will take place from 3 to 14 March 2025. It will bring together SMEs and the wider business community for two weeks of inspiration, learning, and networking.
I do find it strange that I was the only Black candidate under 30, for any of the mainstream political parties at the last general election. Something needs to change. #BHM2024
