No one should be stuck in the awful position of waiting months on end for mental health services.

It's time to supercharge mental health care in this country.

Our Plan to Super Charge mental health services:
-Mental health MOTs at key life points
-A dedicated practitioner in every school
-Full parity between mental and physical health care
-Walk in hubs for children and young people
-Triple taxes on harmful social media giants

Liberal Democrats have expressed their solidarity with the Jewish community in the West Midlands.

"As a society, we must stand up against blame and intolerance. What we need is optimism and hope.

"I wish you all peace."

I'm boycotting the state banquet to send a message to both Donald Trump and Keir Starmer that they cannot close their eyes and wish away the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Donald Trump can stop this catastrophe in Gaza and get the hostages released.

Boycotting Trump Banquet to Call for Gaza Action

I fear we could have a situation where Trump comes to our country, is honoured with a lavish dinner at one of our finest palaces, yet no one reminds him that he has the power to stop the horrifying…

Local government funding is in crisis and that includes my own authority, Solihull Council.

This path is not sustainable. We need to know how the Conservatives plan to turn this ship around.

The government has just announced plans to allow 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in the next general election. What do you think?

@solihullld.bsky.social #Solihull #Shirley #Meriden #Democracy #Vote 🗳️

Should 16 and 17-year-olds be eligible to vote?

Answer our one-question survey and tell us if you think the voting age should be lowered to 16 or remain at 18.

Most people in Solihull are blissfully unaware of the damage that sewage dumping is doing to our rivers, waterways and our environment. After all, we are nowhere near the sea and there are no major rivers in #Solihull.
