Leen Valley, you have a choice on 20th August:
🏹 A new local no-cuts party, @NottmPA's candidate, Parveen Begum.
🥀 The same old Labour, paying more council tax for fewer services.
Choose wisely, take your ID to the polling station and vote! 🪪🗳️
Cllr Ankunda J Matsiko (he/him) retweeted
Another successful canvassing session in Leen Valley for @NottmPA candidate, Parveen Begum, where even previous Conservative voters are considering us as the local option. Helped one supporter register to vote too! 🧡💚

Valentine was an amazing campaigner who did so much to support communities in #Nottingham.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Valentine's family and friends and her colleagues at @MojatuF .
Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Valentine Nkoyo, an inspiring campaigner for the rights of women and girls. I learned so much from her.
Thanks to her work with @MojatuF, Nottingham became the first UK city to declare zero tolerance for FGM. Her legacy will live on.

Great to be involved in this! We desperately need to reset the narrative on inflation and public sector wages
WATCH 📺: What is inflation and how do we fight it?
Inflation has been a key topic of discussion recently but what is inflation and what does it really means for teachers, parents and pupils.
Watch economist Dr Faiza Shaheen explain how inflation is impacting our schools and how the @NEUnion is challenging the Government on this issue. #SaveOurSchools

It is with great sadness that we confirm the sudden and unexpected death of two of our students following a major incident in #Nottingham city centre overnight.
We are shocked and devastated by the news and our thoughts are with those affected, their families and friends. (1/2)

This is excellent BUT (and you knew there would be a but…) I desperately hope this comes alongside an ambitious grant programme for local authorities to build social housing. If it does, I genuinely think this could be transformational.

As the government whips up anti-migrant hatred, remember:
Not only is our country richer economically, socially and culturally because of migrants, but their worth isn't determined by these contributions.
Migrants are people, and that's why we stand in solidarity with them.

Ending homophobia, transphobia and other forms of prejudice would help create more safe, healthy & just societies for everyone.
On today's #IDAHOBIT, like *every* day, LGBTQI+ rights are human rights.
We are all fighting for the right to be who we are.
#Standup4HumanRights
Cllr Ankunda J Matsiko (he/him) retweeted
Criminalisation drives discrimination, stigma, even violence, and stops LGBTQI+ people from accessing critical health services.
This #IDAHOBIT, we @UNAIDS urge all countries to support human rights and decriminalise homosexuality to ensure #HealthForAll.
