I strongly welcome this development. I know how hard the Labour Leader, John Cotton, and our Labour Mayor Richard Parker have worked behind the scenes with Unite, and others, to find a resolution which is in the interests of the city, its residents, its workers and its future.
It’s now clear what is on the table at the local elections in Birmingham - a speedy and agreed way forward, or more uncertainty and ongoing dispute with either Reform or the Greens.
I’ve never been so shocked and disgusted by a Labour Party election broadcast.
No wonder it has been censored.
It’s because we didn’t use our own words - just those of Reform UK politicians.
It needs to be watched and shared so that people know who and what they’re voting for.
Everyone should have access to skills to be able to change their lives.
It is my privilege to meet students and adult learners from Cradley Heath Skills Campus today - built thanks to investment from the Labour-run Sandwell council.
Don’t put this progress at risk. Vote Labour.

Out in Moseley with our fantastic candidate @StephenPihlaja and the Labour team.
