I’m heartbroken this morning to hear about the loss of my friend and colleague Cllr Waseem Zaffar. He was a tireless advocate for his community and a genuinely good man. My thoughts are with his ...

When I met Diane she told me that she'd regained her independence, safety, and security. We’ve developed this new technology to improve the quality of life for people, just like her, all across th...

We have arrived in China. Last year I led a successful trade mission to China that brought investment and opportunities back to our region. This year, I'm here with @Keir_Starmer, @peterkyle and p...

Last year I called out Robert Jenrick for comments about Handsworth that were divisive and wrong. That should have been a line in the sand. Instead of kicking him out, Conservative leaders defende...

Good to sit down with our Night-Time Economy Commission alongside @peterkyle and @CllrJohnCotton at the @Sunflowerlounge. Clear message from the room: the night-time economy supports jobs, creativ...
