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.

Updated: Monday 15th July 2019 Earlier this year I wrote a letter to the secretary of state expressing my disapproval that an appeal to the planning inspectorate has been made for a crematorium based on green belt land by Waseley Hills. I distributed this letter to over 2,000 households across the south of the Frankley […]

It got all academic last week as I name dropped English Philosopher John Locke and compared the “Public Choice Theory” of the bureaucratic state vs the “Creative Destruction” of free market capitalism.

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.

It got heated at Council last week as I challenged the Cabinet member for community safety over policing. What you can’t hear is the Labour group shouting across the chamber as I rebut their claims (hence my voice raising). The Lord Mayor had to intervene and upon finally getting to ask my supplementary I received […]

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.
