It was a pleasure to host Secretary of State for Business and Trade, @PeterKyle MP, on site in Birmingham earlier this week.

He saw first-hand how infrastructure investment is delivering for the West Midlands – creating thousands of jobs and unlocking new commercial and residential development.

HS2 is also building local skills:
🧍12,535 West Midlands residents are now employed on the programme, including
🎓740 apprentices and
👷1,936 people who have moved into jobs after a period of unemployment.

I will work relentlessly with our fantastic metro mayors, our friends in devolved governments and our investment partners in the UK and overseas to end this era of low growth.

Thank you, Birmingham, for having me today at the Regional Investment Summit.

Big shout out to the wonderful Heather at #Newcastle @LNER ticket office. Sorting my issue out with common sense and a heart. ❤️

My message to NHS and care staff

[Jon Hudson @jonhudson26]

Have to say well done to @bhx_official for getting it’s sh*t together. Last few times flying early morning, only taking 15 mins to get through and no huge queues, it just flows. Also security / airport staff really proactive and friendly. Just need more seating. #BHX #Birmingham

This is what change looks like.

Labour must form Britain’s next government—and not just because the Tories need a long lie-down https://t.co/iJ2deBfXBh

Quite something to recall that autumn relaunch

Canned hs2 p2 against wishes of Andy Street, Conservative with the biggest personal mandate in the UK.

To replace with promised funding for local projects across English council areas…

- WM looks lost
- half council seats lost

13 years of Tory chaos.

@JonAshworth nails it.

[Darren Murphy @MrDarrenMurphy]

This not the IRA. It is dissident Republicans who have never supported the peace process. The @Telegraph should not make this kind of fundamental error.

[Darren Murphy @MrDarrenMurphy]

The BBC appears to believe in impartiality for presenters of its football programmes but not for the chairman of its board.

[Darren Murphy @MrDarrenMurphy]

Big noise about @BorisJohnson coming back from holiday in the Caribbean to compete for the Tory leadership but, voters in Uxbridge will want to know, why wasn’t he doing the job he is paid for, representing their interests in Parliament? As he showed during Covid, he is a waster.

[Jon Hudson @jonhudson26]

Very clever bit of comms from @TSSAunion. Really proud to be a member here at #HS2

Turns out @richie_anderson from the @ZoeTheBall show on @BBCRadio2 will be doing #Strictly so was no bull. Richie has made the daily coverage of the #CommonwealthGames2022 every morning brilliantly funny. And well done for choosing to dance with a same-sex partner.

[Jon Hudson @jonhudson26]

Have to say well done to @LeShuttle for our crossing on Wednesday PM. Luckily there was NO traffic in Folkestone. Perfect crossing and on a train 2 hours early - as we got there early after news carnage last week.

@markhipwell1990 @A38Cycleway @mrmjprice Love this video. Such as pain. You wouldn’t just close part of the M42 without notice!

#RememberingLyra Headliners is today remembering Lyra McKee - our Trustee and friend of Headliners. Today marks three years since she was murdered in Derry, Northern Ireland. Lyra was a brilliant, talented journalist who was such an advocate of young people. #neverforget
