Going to start claim being Sandwell born and bred - even though it was Staffordshire until 1974. First job before uni was in West Bromwich Library ..

We must get knives off our streets so that we can keep our communities safe. I support Labour's pledge to get police back on the beat, re-establish community policing and take back our streets from serious violence by halving incidents of knife crime within a decade.

I'm otherwise engaged this week, so I'm not able to help volunteer with Lichfield foodbank but if you do want to make a donation to help their vital work the team will be at Tesco Extra on Friday (and there's always a collection point just after the tills)

What a brilliant idea and line-up

International Workers' Memorial Day in #Lichfield . #IWMD24
Remember the dead, fight for the living.
135 workers died at work in 2022/23 plus thousands who died of conditions caused by their work.

Brilliant

CHANGE only happens when working people vote.

I showed Alastair around Tamworth and explained why we need a front desk at our police station. He's fully on board and with a Labour Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner and a Labour government we can make sure that community policing takes priority once again.

Oh well. Another hour in London ….

Took five goes to get the wordle this morning!

Highly recommended

Then come and have fun with other women in Lichfield

In case anyone sees the work being done in the gardens of remembrance this week. The Council has been assured that the works won't affect the war memorial and the gardens will be made right after it's finished.

As it's apprenticeships week the Lichfield Labour elves have been looking at the opportunities available to people in Lichfield, Burntwood and the District:

❌There are now 320 fewer available in the area

Calling 18th-century friends: The Samuel Johnson Society (Lichfield) is looking for editorial support for its journal, Transactions. We need someone with an interest in the period and editing skills. Any Early Career researchers out there who would be interested? DM me please!

Just a couple from campaign event in #Burntwood at #Sankeys this morning.

It's time to make work pay and Labour's #NewDeal for Working People will do just that
