As it’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, I wanted to remind everyone that my door is ALWAYS open, no matter what you are dealing with.

Never mind Parliament being prorogued, this month Labour reduced motions for debate on the largest local authority in Europe….

Cllr Simon Morrall makes a heartfelt speech on youth violence at Birmingham City Council. He hadn’t prepared to speak on the report, But just felt he had too.
