💔First Adrian lost his son, then Bham City Council threatened to take his family's home. The people behind the Birmingham bins strike matter. What the council & the government-backed commissioners are trying to do to them is a disgrace. 🙏Thanks to Adrian for sharing his story &

And an MP we admired and had great hopes MP for Walton -Dan Carden has completely sold his soul his history and all of his constituents down the river to be the cover boy for Blue Labour. A betrayal I never saw coming that will never be forgiven . We must never again be
