There are more than 4,000 unlicensed HMOs in #Birmingham but that could be set to change due to new laws #LDReporter birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…
Thanks to @BhamCityCouncil for arranging its second Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Programme “Community Day”. @SpringHousing great to be supporting our customers with their housing needs and to hear first-hand about families housing experiences #Refugees #housing&support
I have opposed right to buy since it was introduced in 1981 including so called voluntary HA version
Concerned about someone sleeping rough? Contact @Tell_StreetLink: socsi.in/Lvmgh Follow @StreetTeamBham for updates in #Brum
Homelessness is rising. But have you heard the stories behind the statistics? Here’s what @SThompson_JP and I heard @StBasilsCharity Please watch, share and DONATE: justgiving.com/teams/LabourAg…
Today is #WorldHomelessDay - I’ll be tweeting throughout the day about how our #Homeless Services are working to #EndHomelessness #ThinkingOutsideTheCardboardBox
Jean Templeton @StBasilsCharity speaking now. “Do nothing” (i.e. simply supporting immediate needs rather than actively preventing homelessness) will cost the region £278m by 2020. We can and must do better than this #designingouthomelessness
In recognition of #WorldHomelessnessDay our team are running an awareness raising and advice pop up at Shelter Erdington shop 10am - 2pm. Pop in to see us today!
When you’re homeless, Christmas can be the hardest time of all. Every year @Crisis_Bham, our Christmas events are made possible by the generosity of hundreds of people who donate gifts and resources from our #wishlist. Can you help us this year? amzn.eu/cGL1vu2
Today I met with Govt Homelessness minister @nadams & @BhamCityCouncil officials to discuss vital work undertaken locally to combat roughsleeping & homelessness. I welcome funding initiatives like Housing 1st, but there is also a strong need for systemic change within Govt policy
Great discussion on Local Approaches to #EndRoughSleeping at @StMungos #Lab18 roundtable fringe: With (l-r) @LabourSatvir @RebeccaLRenn @OnnMel @DomWilliamson13 @cllrjudithblake @salford_mayor @rokhsanafiaz @jamesmurray_ldn @MarvinJRees @SThompson_JP @BethMKnowles
Great to meet @AshleyBertie_ with @StreetTeamBham & @kalvinder_kohli to discuss street homelessness
Worried about a rough sleeper' s health in Birmingham? Hot weather can be difficult for people living on the streets. Did you know we have our own dedicated GP practice for the homeless community in Brum? @StreetTeamBham
We’re at @ICC_Birmingham at the #DiocesanLeadershipConference encouraging heads to get their staff to #volunteer at @Taborhouse365 special thanks to one of our vols setting up at 8am this morning! @FatherHudsons
An important commitment from @BhamCityCouncil CEO Dawn Baxendale & @BrumLeader Tackling & preventing homelessness is everybody’s business #preventionfirstbrum
Fascinating slide. @crisis_uk used HM Treasury’s own methodology to calculate costs & benefits of implementing their “Everybody In” plan to end homelessness nationally. By 2041 £19bn spent = £53.9bn benefit & many thousands of lives changed for the better #PreventionFirstBrum
Birmingham’s Homelessness Forum Chair @mattshrimper of @Crisis_Bham reminds us what’s at stake: average age at which a male rough sleeper dies is 47. For a woman, just 43. We can and must act to #endhomelessness #PreventionFirstBrum
Jean Templeton @StBasilsCharity drives home the point that prevention is everybody’s business and responsibility. If you only invest in crisis, you’ll only ever get crisis #PreventionFirstBrum
Focus on what we want to achieve, not just what we want to avoid. Spot on from Jean Templeton @StBasilsCharity #PreventionFirstBrum

I've just cast my vote for my friend and colleague @liambyrnemp to be Labour's candidate for #WestMidlandsMayor. He's passionate about tackling the moral emergencies of homelessness and poverty across the West Mids and will be the champion that our region desperately needs.
As a local Councillor, I've worked with @CllrJohnCotton for over a decade. He's a champion for our community and homeless citizens across Birmingham - thanks for your endorsement! #LetsStartNow
I’ve cast my #WestMidlandsMayor ballot for @liambyrnemp We need a proper campaigner who will take the fight to the current Tory mayor. He’s been a champion for our region and it’s people for more years than I care to remember. The @UKLabour fight back starts here and now

This will be breaking news to no one, but to me it was a revelation. This morning I met Parminder Kaur in Bilston Market and ate my very first ever bread pakora. As someone who grew up in Birmingham I wasn't sure there was anything I hadn't tried but a sandwich pakora was a 1st
@BrumLeader Thank you !💛
Fantastic work from @TheDanielBaird1 Daniel's mom Lynne has worked tirelessly to promote bleed kits and her efforts will undoubtedly save lives.
Today we’re proud to launch an initiative, in partnership with @TheDanielBaird1, to provide life-saving ‘Bleed Control Kits’ to over 300 late-venues in the Square Mile. Find out more about the initiative, here: news.cityoflondon.police.uk/r/1291/city_of… #ControlTheBleed
Thrilled to announce I’ve been shortlisted to become Braintree Labour’s parliamentary candidate. It’d be an honour to fight for Labour in Braintree at a general election, and take the campaign to Tory Chairman James Cleverly. Hustings are tonight at 19:30, Labour Hall. 🗳 🌹
All politicians had to be guarded today from one side or another, 9 police surrounded me as I walked the short distance back to parliament. Not on my request on theirs. It doesn't matter which side does it, aggression is wrong and counter productive to your cause. Pack it in.
Don’t build walls build bridges.
I have heard the news of @Jas_Athwal suspension, and I am deeply shocked. Jas is a well respected leader and was on course to win the selection in @IlfordSouth
Trouble for Labour in Ilford South, where the selection process to replace @MikeGapes as the party’s election candidate was due to kick off this morning. The front runner, local councillor Jas Athwal, was suspended by the party last night. His supporters say it’s a “stitch-up”.
I do not believe this decision reflects the views of the overwhelming majority of Labour members who desperately want to stop Brexit. Labour IS a Remain party. I will continue campaigning with @LondonLabour to give the public the final say and stop Brexit.
Boris Johnson should resign.
'The court is bound to conclude the decision to advise her Majesty to prorogue Parliament was unlawful' - wow
A message to Labour's NEC: stop playing bureaucratic games. Lay off @tom_watson and let conference debate our Brexit line democratically. We need a collegiate, open leadership - a conference that speaks to the whole British electorate - and an end to machine politics.
View from frontline. Spent week in my office saw 100s of people, helped with homelessness, disability benefits, gave out food. Saw people with substance misuse problems & helped kids get mental health treatment. No one mentioned upset with the Labour deputy leader position
This is completely mad and incredibly destructive. Country faces serious challenges & General Election could be imminent. @UKLabour conference shd be about country & about pulling together. Instead we get this.
1. As Labour conference gets going big row brewing - just heard a motion was put forward tonight to abolish deputy leader’s post, essentially to get rid of Tom Watson
Tribal infighting in the middle of a Boris Johnshon-inspired national emergency makes me want to weep. My constituents and millions of others across the country desperately need the Labour party united right now. The Tories, not Tom Watson, are our opponents. Let's fight them.
