WATCH – BRUM’S ANTI CAR AGENDA! From the Clean Air Zone, to demolition of the Perry Bar fly over, to the closure of Birmingham Wheels, the Labour run Birmingham City Council is on a crusade against cars, attacking the ordinary motorist for purly idological reasons. Some claim this is sensationalism, that we’re inflating the problem […]

  What a day! Rallying at high speed, drifting, karting and even skateboarding around the UK’s only purpose built skate ring. Just one problem…. the Labour run City Council are planning to bull doze this historic motorsport venue and sell it off to warehouse developers! This site was opened in 1977, covers 37 acres of […]

PLEASE SHARE! This June, Labour are introducing a Congestion Charge (The Clean Air Zone) into Birmingham City Centre. Which could cost the poorest motorists up to £2,700 a year.

Following the #Frankley Skills Show, I challenge City Council officers to ensure opportunities are being correctly signposted to young people across the city, especially those from deprived communities. I then questioned their policy over affordable housing and asked if we could expand the successful enterprise zones, like the one in Longbridge, once the business park […]

I compared ‘drug dealers to entrepreneurs’ on the Economy and Skills Overview and Scrutiny Committee this month, suggesting we teach business and GSSE Economics in schools to prevent kids falling off the end. Former leader of the Council and veteran teacher Cllr John Clancy shared his experiences teaching entrepreneurship in schools in the 1980’s with […]

THE BREXIT BET VIDEO: After scrutinising claims made to committee around “The Impact of Brexit” the chairman rudely turned my microphone off.
