This Birmingham councillor represents a ward where only *half* of working-age people are employed. And over the past few years, people in Birmingham have watched their council go bankrupt, alongside a two-year bin strike. And yet he's banging on about the Middle East.
Last night 54 councillors cross party backed the ethical investment motion at Birmingham Full Council💚 Now comes accountability. We need action, transparency and regular updates not another motion gathering dust Calling on councillors across the West Midlands to follow suit 👏🏽

🎈35 years ago, my song 'Thinking About Your Love' hit #4 in the UK charts, and Voices became the 12th biggest-selling album of 1991 by a British artist. Next year, I'm heading out on my biggest-ever UK Q&A tour! Tix are limited, grab them at kennythomasmusic.com ❤️ #tour

This councillor represents the most deprived ward in Birmingham. It has one of the worst child poverty rates in the country. Just 4 in 10 people are employed. And yet he's focused on events in the Middle East - which Birmingham City Council can do absolutely nothing about.
My maiden speech! We passed what we wanted but more importantly we passed what Birmingham wanted. And silencing reform always has its own happiness 😂 YOUR councillor Raihaan Abbas

A long overdue decision, but proud of colleagues for breaking through many layers of red tape to let common sense prevail & bring this decision for approval. The City of London has been well-served by our highly skilled, 'above & beyond' black cab trade, and long may it continue!

A car crash interview from Angela Eagle, “the lesser of two Eagles”. Labour’s big announcement today is the introduction of eight new regional water councils, but the Environment Secretary can’t even explain what powers they’ll actually have. Additionally, which areas will each one cover? Who will lead them? How will membership of these councils be selected? When will they be established? Who will they answer to? Etc, etc… Another shambolic announcement from a Government which loves a headline, but has zero detail to back it up.

Mate, you're a local councillor in Birmingham. You have a bankrupt city, a bin strike & residents needing your help with crucial stuff the council has responsibility for - housing, social care, SEND etc This should be a warning to the UK of what a left-wing coalition looks like. – at Featherstone, England

London is hosting “The Thinking Muslim Conference” this weekend. One speaker said he would be willing to carry out a suicide bombing. Another was described as a member of Al-Qaeda, and met the Taliban. I have written to the Home Secretary about the obvious security concerns.

They are happy to import it from Russia but not the North Sea. Just mad posturing.

Birmingham is beginning to look like the UK's first official caliphate
At a B’ham Council meeting, Ind. and left-wing councillors cheered "Free Palestine" after a vote passed for B’ham not to "fund Israel." Why is a council wasting time on geopolitics instead of local issues? This isn’t how a council should conduct itself.

Mail reports that 38 of these pro-illegal migrant charities received £1 billion in taxpayer-funded contracts and grants in their last financial year.

Whenever I hear the word 𝑰𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒐𝒃𝒊𝒂 I am reminded that when A Muslim terrorist murdered 22 people in Manchester during an Ariana Grande concert. A security guard saw him as suspect - but was too afraid of being branded 𝙄𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙘 to take action.

Nearly three weeks since we wrote to the Mayor of London about the Crown Court ruling over the A20 scandal, and still nothing. Not even an acknowledgement that TfL is investigating. This matter will not go away. Sadiq Khan cannot cover it up. He needs to do the right thing.

Update! I’ve just seen that @ShabanaMahmood has ‘full confidence’ in the IOPC. I want to weep and scream and kick something. I’m guessing she has to say that, but if she truly does believe that she is 1. Misguided 2. Misinformed 3. In the wrong job. ….I’ve spent the past three hours trawling through the 200+ emails, attachments, files and documents from said ‘watchdog’ to us over the past three years realising they are even worse than I thought. Enough is enough. For f**ks sake. To our public agencies, institutions and government. Grow a backbone and realise the crisis that you are facing…
