The WM dominates in Paris ๐๐
Congratulations to Emi Martinez & Jude Bellingham ๐๐ป
Surely itโs only a matter of time until we get the first Ballon Dโor made in Stourbridge ๐
#BallonDor
Fantastic to see inside JLRโs new ยฃ250MILLION EV testing facility in Coventry๐โก๏ธ
The site, the latest in JLRโs commitment to their home in the WM, means more efficient testing for the next generation of EVs - allowing for a quicker market entry โ
And of course 350 new jobs ๐ง๐ผโ๐ง
Iโve been clear alongside Suzanne Webb MP that the ticket office at Stourbridge Junction & others across the WM must not close โ๐ป
Modernising rail ticketing is important, but issues over accessibility & staffing need to be addressed.
Great to meet the campaigners & George The Stourbridge Junction Station Cat ๐
Cancelling HS2 northbound was a terrible decision - but all is not lost for the future.
With the private sector and our friends in the North, weโre coming together to look at how we can improve connectivity & capacity between the WM & Manchester ๐ค๐ป

West Midlands to London powered by VEGETABLE OIL ๐ฅ๐ฝ ๐
Great to see Chilternโs vegetable oil powered train in Stourbridge with Suzanne Webb MP ๐๐ป
The train will reduce carbon emissions by 90% compared to conventional diesel trains๐
More progress on our #WM2041 net-zero target ๐ฏ๐๐ป
NEW: More cash for Kingshurst ๐๏ธ
Great to see Solihull Council have secured ยฃ1 MILLION from the Govt to kickstart enabling work on the much needed regeneration โ
As part of this weโre delivering 78 new net-zero social homes - helping to meet the housing demand & #WM2041 ๐๐ป
Good to be at the Hawthorns for a great result for the Baggies as they continue to perform on the pitch โฝ๏ธ
Off the pitch Iโm aware of the issues surrounding the ownership, & Iโve been in dialogue with Action for Albion, Nicola Richards MP, & the club as we work towards a solution ๐ฃ๏ธ
