Have you ever thought about standing for your local council? Do you care about your community? Could you put your ideas into practice?

For the first time in 17 years, government will review how every pound of tax payers money is being spent.

In the spending review, we will make sure public spending delivers our Plan for Change.

β€˜She was a miracle baby’: Elianne Andam had dreams of law career, aunt tells BBC The 15-year-old's aunt says her smiling and talented niece loved helping people and wanted to be a human rights lawyer.

This tragic and senseless loss can never be made better.

My thoughts remain with Elianne’s family, friends and everyone who knew this talented young woman.

Gail, I love you so
I want you to know
That I'm gonna miss your love
The minute you walk out that door

So please don't go, don't go
Don't go away
Please don't go, don't go
I'm begging you to stay

Christmas came early this year, 4th July to be precise! And when you get a Labour government then Santa turns up at the @lgalabour.bsky.social next generation programme! He had a remarkable likeness to Cllr Daniel Allen.

The pain of being on an early train to Coventry for meetings after the staff Christmas party last night, was definitely eased by a Warwick conferences Xmas dinner. Bloody marvellous.
