It was a pleasure to be with Mayor Andy Street again yesterday to open the new Balaam Wood Academy. Throwing off the shackles of the state and allowing this school to thrive independently. This is the third time Andy has been to Frankley in the space of 12 months and you bet I got shout […]

I had the pleasure to speak to our new Prime Minister about the issues affecting Frankley Great Park. I told him how much support there was for stop and search, increasing police numbers and doubling down on education funding. We also talked about Brexit, explaining how Frankley voted by almost double to leave the EU […]

In June drove all the way to Walsall North to see not one, but three MPs in a local booozer, talking about working class aspiration, helping our young people, funding our police, teaching economics in schools, and much more all for a FIVER! Now that’s what I call “Blue Collar Conservatism!”

It was a privilege to be invited by Brigadier Richard Carter commander of the 11th Signal & West Midlands Brigade to a reception with the British Army at Villa Park. Hearing about the amazing work our armed forces do for the region and be updated on the armed forces covenant following our motion at city […]

In the UK, the single biggest killer of men under 45 is suicide, and Cllr Morrall spoke of losing his friend to suicide in 2016: “Since being elected I have donated a sum of my allowance […]

HALF MARATHON Run (13.1 miles) COMPLETE Thanks to your support, I completed the Birmingham half marathon in a time of 2:12:36 which exceeded all expectations! All funds raised compliment the donations I make from my allowance, and with the government’s announcement of a Suicide Prevention Minister in the same month, it has made everything worthwhile!

SUICIDE PREVENTION EVENT WITH CHARITIES Before my big speech in the council chamber, I prepared a two hour presentation on suicide prevention at the Council House in Birmingham. The event was co-hosted alongside Samaritans, Papyrus and CALM to a room full of senior Birmingham City Council officials and staff.

During my election campaign, I said that politicians should put their money where their mouth is, they should be passionate about something, and most importantly, have purpose. That’s why, I have donated a sum of my counciller allowance to the chairty CALM – the only chairty in the UK dedicated to preventing male suicide, which […]
