We're halfway through #PastFuture!
Today we had a visit from local MP @steve_mccabe and talked about what it's like to work in a heritage site.
Thank you to @TheArtsSociety_ who have funded this week and enabled us to remove access barriers.

Think she also enunciated the policy - just saying!
“I cancelled the policy. I did it straight away. I was decisive. And I was honest with the public about what I was doing”
Conservative leadership contender Liz Truss says her public sector pay policy was "misrepresented"

Congrats to Lionesses. Great game, great football, great result

🎂 Happy Birthday to "Mr Morton" Allan McGraw!
Our all time top goalscorer and club hall of famer turns 83 today!
Delighted to share our Topper Trail! A great way to explore the area, keep active and inquisitive and enjoy some art.
Lovely to see so many faces from the rugby club supporting Derek as he carried the Commonwealth Games torch through Swanshurst Park. Well done, Derek for being a great ambassador for the club and in the local community!
He did it! Well done Josh! Baton Relay Superstar of @birminghamcg22 #Birminghamcg22 #BatonRelay #proudstaff #aspire #thrive #achieve
It was a pleasure to see ex Stirchley Primary School student,Sophie, take part in the @birminghamcg22 baton relay @RPavilion this morning ☺️ #CommonwealthGames2022 #Perry #BirminghamCommonwealthGames
Great seeing @BournvilleSch student Macey’s #BatonRelay today for services to school sports & leadership - a real ambassador for sport & community. Nice that she was handed the baton by ex @Selly_Oak student Curtis, nominated for his charity work #Birmingham2022 @steve_mccabe
Liz Truss giving Labour lots of material here.
"Some of our hospitals are falling apart".
"We are currently projected to head for a recession".
"We've got the lowest projections of growth rates in the G7."
One has already wrecked the economy.
The other is promising billions of unfunded tax cuts.
The Tory leadership candidates in their own words.
Liz Truss, likely winner of Tory leadership contest, confirms Labour claim, during last night’s debate, that Tories have had no policy for growth. That’s why we’ve got a skills shortage, rising inflation, low wages and insecure employment. It’s their fault
Dismal to see Sunak/Truss competing to extend an unworkable, unethical, unaffordable, high fraud risk Rwanda scheme that will make trafficking worse.
Instead of tackling criminal trafficking gangs they are just ramping up rhetoric against refugees. Britain is better than this
Would be interesting to see a breakdown of which foreign interests are helping decide who the next British PM should be
Non-British citizens can join the Tory party and vote in leadership elections, thereby determining who the next prime minister will be, while those living in the UK but are not members of the party have no such say...

I am very sorry to see you go but wish to thank you for all your hard work for the children who’ve attended Bournville. You will be greatly missed
Yesterday was my final day as head teacher at the amazing @BnvilleVillage It has been an honour to lead the school through this chapter of its history. An emotional week of farewells to a wonderful community. Thank you all x
.@steve_mccabe at @CommonsWorkPen on the govt 'lapsing' appeals at the last minute. No-one should be put through the stress of turning up on the day of Tribunal to be told that their appeal has already been lapsed. It's vital the correct decisions are made right from the start.
Glad it’s sorted. Passports are the latest Home Office nightmare
@steve_mccabe with emailing your office Sunday our passport has arrived today! I’m presuming this is the help from yourselves! SO thank you so much!
A very sad day for @WMPolice as the much loved Ex ACC Danny Long lost his fight with cancer. Just a lovely man and a great cop. All our thoughts with his family at this sad time.
It’s worth watching this clip again, especially at the moment. Eddie Mair doing what he does best.
As Chair of All Party Group of Children in Care & Care Leavers I am a vocal opponent of unregulated accommodation
@TogetherTrust @steve_mccabe @GarySambrook89 WHY are we allowing this to our children. Would you be happy if it was you or yours. I’m at a total loss that 40yrs after I was sent in my way from residential care. This is still happening 🤷♀️
The Conservatives are unfit for government.
Don’t believe us, ask them 👇🏻
Unfortunately the very same Tory MPs who forced him out didn’t. Maybe it’s because the realise his potential successors are just as bad

Ah - DON'T retweet...oops, sorry. https://twitter.com/MichaelLamberta/status/1547879957895860224
Please do not retweet this video. It makes Liz Truss look very silly and incompetent
Tory leadership candidates highlight the spread of “wokery” and cancel culture across the public and private sectors. If only the Tories had been in power for the past 12 years to do something about it.
I agree that while some leadership candidates seem to think Boris was a disaster it's not clear to me what policies - not parties or Pincher but things the Government actually did - they disagree with https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/ditching-boris-was-a-terrible-mistake via @spectator

For decades the crimes of the Iranian regime have been met with impunity.
Condemnation of one of the perpetrators of #1988Massacre to life prison in a court of Stockholm is the first step. Raiisi &Khamenei and principal responsibles of genocide must be tried by justice
It’s getting heated on tonight’s Central Lobby - what about the cuts to schools funding in Birmingham @steve_mccabe challenges Jack Brereton .. alongside @PMHartshorn - join us after News at Ten @ITVCentral
What on earth is going on?
Why has @pritipatel refused at last minute to go to @CommonsHomeAffs so MPs can ask her about;
- passport delays
- asylum delays
- rising crime
- falling prosecutions
- record low rape charges
- record high fraud
& more...
This Govt is in total chaos https://twitter.com/CommonsHomeAffs/status/1547142034561040391
🕙This morning at 10.00am we were due to be questioning the Home Secretary, Priti Patel. She has declined to attend our session.
Joe Biden says ‘You need not be a Jew to be a Zionist’ on first visit to Israel as president https://www.thejc.com/news/israel/joe-biden-says-you-need-not-be-a-jew-to-be-a-zionist-on-first-visit-to-israel-as-president-1NRVA9rOzzIkl3AnPWyE9Z
Every ambulance service in the country is on the highest level alert.
The Health Secretary is yet to say a word about it.
He couldn’t even be bothered to show up today to answer questions.
This government isn’t even in office, let alone in power.
Seems new Health Sec has been out for photo op with London ambulance crew but hasn’t found time to phone Chief Ambulance Officer for West Mids, where service has been at highest level of alert for several months (unprecedented), to ask what help they need
#PMQs Didn’t believe it possible but Johnson like a parody of himself today while Keir Starmer laying out clear attack lines on any would be Tory PM engaged in tax avoidance or nondom status. We can’t simply change one charlatan for another
Was in the Chamber of House of Commons at the time. It’s not unusual for events to clash. Understand it was largely a slide show online so hoping I can catch up with it some way. Maybe you could also contact him & say you’re very keen to see it.
Hi @steve_mccabe
Did you attend @uksciencechief's emergency climate briefing for MPs on Monday?
It would be great to hear your thoughts on the briefing, and your work within your Brandwood constituency to help the climate.

Great to have @steve_mccabe stop by our #socialcare workforce reception yesterday to show his support for local carers! #standwithourcarers
In just a few short days the Conservative party has gone from one (at least pretending) to be for levelling up to one for austerity and huge spending cuts
Such an honour to meet up with the wonderful David Moorcroft on the 40th anniversary of his world record setting 5000M run at the Bislett Stadium, Norway. A hero and a gentleman
Pleasure on Sat to catch up with the fantastic Kerry Huntley, organising genius behind one of the best local community Festivals around Happy Valley Birmingham
Presumably that means the taxpayer would have funded it. Seems a bit ridiculous but following in the Johnson tradition of always expecting someone else to foot the bill.
I’m told directors at the foreign office are now looking at the Truss launch video, because some of the footage was filmed by civil servants not spads and they may not be allowed to use it
"Rishi was born into a relatively humble beginning" - Sunak-backing Robert Jenrick
Only in the Conservative Party could the son of a GP and owner of a pharmacy sent to £46,000-a-year Winchester College come from a "relatively humble" background 😃

Just as expected the @KNGSlife students had amazing questions for Steve! We discussed everything from proportional representation to Labour Leader @KeirStarmer https://twitter.com/PoliticsProject/status/1545397115555389445
Just kicking off a digital surgery with @KNGSlife and @steve_mccabe! We're looking forward to their questions 😃
If Johnson won’t go now we need further resignations. It takes guts for ministers to move against him but they’ve done the hard part &can’t leave the job half done. As a Labour MP leaving him probably suits me but there’s our country &reputation to think of.
