Today I wrote to the leader of Birmingham City Council asking for the Union Flag to be flown over our proud city council house on January 31st, to mark the implementation on the decision by the British people, to leave the European Union.

You know you’re talking sense when a Labour chair tries to interrupt you. Thankfully the cabinet member for Education, Skills, and Culture agreed with everything I said.

Binmen continue to neglect Frankley It’s been one year since I was elected to represent you, and I’ll never forget the ITV news interview: “Do you feel the bin strike of 2017 helped your campaign” I responded “Bin strike!? Ha! The bins have always been terrible in Frankley!!” In September I stood up at city […]

I challenge the cabinet member for eduction and skills alongside the Leader of the City Council, about their non-existent marketing and communication strategy when it comes to promoting opportunities to the young and disenfranchised, especially those from deprived communities. According to recent reports, Frankley is one of the top four wards in the city for […]

Labour WALK OUT on taxi drivers over caz Labour Councillors walked out the the city’s Licensing Committee, rather than face questions from the dozens of angry taxi drivers attending to discuss their clean air zone / congestion charge, that’s due to come into force in 2020. Conservative members (who appose the CAZ) stayed to answer […]
