Wonderful to be out in Perry Common this morning with the amazing Erdington CLP, speaking to residents about local issues and their views on the Government’s vision for a National Care Service. Thank you to everyone who took the time to stop and have a conversation.

Excellent speech from PM @andyburnham.bsky.social setting out a clear ambition to establish a National Care Service as soon as possible in the next Parliament. Free personal care for older people, founded on the same principle as our NHS: everyone contributes and everyone is covered.

For years, people across Erdington, Kingstanding, Castle Vale and South Oscott have had to put up with Avanti West Coast cancellations, delays, overcrowding and a service that too often lets passengers down. I’m pleased the Labour Government is bringing Avanti West Coast 1/2

I recently visited Iceland as part of a cross-party UK Parliamentary delegation, strengthening ties between our countries. It was a valuable opportunity to learn about Iceland’s economy, trade & international relations, as well as its transition to cleaner, more secure energy.

Last week I joined National Aids Trust in Parliament to hear about their vital work to end health inequalities and HIV stigma and achieve their goal of ending HIV transmissions by 2030. Ending stigma and tackling inequalities must remain a priority.

I raised concerns over school uniform affordability and asked the Government whether it will introduce a recommended maximum price or price cap. I’m pleased the Government has limited the number of branded items schools can require, helping families save up to £50 per child.

If we are serious about a two-state solution, action must go beyond words. I welcome the Government’s decision to ban imports from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. This is an important step towards upholding international law and supporting lasting peace.

I raised in Parliament with the Minister my concerns, and those of my constituents, about JLR’s announcement of 4,000 job losses over the weekend. The Castle Bromwich JLR site is a lifeline for many local families, and I pressed the Minister to protect its future.

As Parliament returns following the summer recess, Prime Minister @andyburnham.bsky.social will begin setting out his vision for the country. Although he’s only been PM for a few weeks, he’s already brought a can-do, problem-solving attitude to the role. It’s the right approach.

On @jeremyvine.bsky.social we discussed the new Ali G movie, which, from the trailer, I found it offensive for stereotyping an ethnic group through negative behaviour. This reinforces harmful assumptions and creates a false impression of a community. That’s wrong & should be called out.
