Al Carns

I am seriously concerned by reports of intimidation and violence in Stirchley on Thursday, and have written to WMP. The Union Jack is a symbol of unity, not division; of patriotism, not polarisation. I condemn all attempts to hijack our flag and sow violence in our communities for political gain.

Lovely to join @alcarns.bsky.social over the weekend in Birmingham as part of my effort to try all the best baltis across the city. Where should we go next?

It was great having Armed Forces Minister, @alcarns.bsky.social, back in Ipswich. Labour's Defence team have delivered: - the largest sustained increase in core defence funding since the Cold War - the biggest armed forces pay rise in 20+ years - £9bn to upgrade Armed Forces' family housing

Great to be joined by @alcarns.bsky.social in Paisley today to speak with local people about the change only Scottish Labour can bring on Thursday. #BackBibby

Labour is taking decisive action to back our Armed Forces & their families who make huge sacrifices to keep us safe. This landmark Bill delivers on our promise to put service personnel, veterans & their families first. Proud to join Minister @alcarns.bsky.social to support the #ArmedForcesBill

👏 Residents in Selly Oak Birmingham met with @alcarns.bsky.social MP to discuss the importance of the Climate and Nature Bill, and the urgent action needed to tackle the climate-nature crisis. 🐝 Thanks to The Co-operative Bank for helping #CANBill campaigners reach more decision makers.

Our country has always stood up in the face of tyranny. This isn’t about politics. This comes down to having the courage to make the right decision. 🫡
