Each one of them brings passion and commitment to improving the lives of children and adults across our city. I feel genuinely honoured to know them.

Young people with SEND have incredible strengths and potential. Hereward College’s Principal Paul Cook and his team truly bring this to life — from the music studio to hands‑on training like building AC units. A brilliant example of how inclusion benefits everyone.

The opening of the Spencer Park Community Café was full of warmth & community spirit.
Speeches from Pauline OBE DL & Bishop Sophie Jelley were funny, moving & captured the dedication of all the volunteers.
A real privilege to be there & the cakes were delicious! 😋

Delighted to speak at @warwickuni.bsky.social Women’s Summit.🌟
I shared my journey—from pushing past teachers' low expectations to studying computer science & building a career in s/w engineering.
Such experiences drive my commitment to our children’s education in our city.📚

It was an honour recording my life history with @hardishvirk.bsky.social.
Sharing my family’s story, from my great‑grandfather in Coventry during WWII supporting the war effort, to generations shaped by migration, reminded me how our histories are part of our city & our country we helped build.

Today’s Local Power Plan announcement is the biggest investment in community-owned energy in British history.
Our members have fought for years to put power and profit in community hands. Now that work will shape the future of energy ownership in the UK.⚡️

Thankfully rain stayed off while I delivered letters from me, Cllrs Tucker & Kelly.
Always great when residents stop for a chat — never hesitate to say hello.
Then straight over to canvassing around Wainbody Ave North, hearing local issues directly on the doorstep.

Super Saturday on the campaign trail — Wyken ➜ Cheylesmore ➜ Earlsdon.
Great chats with residents while delivering our Coventry @teamlabouruk.bsky.social letter. including one 20‑minute conversation with a resident who stood barefoot on the pavement. A lovely hello to his daughter too.

Today we remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, along with the millions of Roma, LGBTQ+ people, people targeted for their ethnicity, and those persecuted for their political beliefs. 🕯️
May we never forget—lest we allow such hatred to rise again.
