Almost 6 hours later, and a budget has been passed for Derby City Council. It was not the budget we proposed, but it’s a balanced budget nonetheless. #DerbyCityCouncil #Budget #LabourAdministration

I had the honour of catching up with Gov @alexottiofr & Dep. Gov Ikechukwu Emetu. We discussed their vision for Abia’s development, future ambitions, and my election as a councillor in Derby. Abia is in very safe hands.

The one reason I’ve never intentionally rewatched Sound of Music is the character of Rolf Gruber. I found it disturbing how quickly someone close to you would turn on you in service of the overlord. This is what I see in Trump’s America today. It is heartbreaking. And scary.

It was great to catch up with Mrs Caley, the Headteacher of Murray Park Community School. I look forward to working with you and the team for the benefit of the children and families in the Mackworth and New Zealand ward that the school serves.

Thanks to Business Day Ng for publishing my piece on Kemi Badenoch’s recent misyarn. As sure as death and taxes, it won’t be her last. businessday.ng/opinion/arti...

"While there is truth in her comments, the problem lies in how she has said them, who she has said them about, and, crucially, the potential unintended consequences of her words." My article on Kemi and the politics of 'talking anyhow.' medium.com/@ndukweonuoh...

Proud to have been a part of "Light in the Shadows", an art exhibition celebrating stories of hope. This free exhibition, a partnership between TES HOUSE and The Nsibidi Project, runs from 10 to 12 Dec @ Banks Mill Studio, 71 Bridge Street, Derby DE1 3LB #LightInTheShadows #ArtExhibition2024 #Derby

I love the dialogues in Black Doves. It’s witty and engaging in a way that feels like if Guy Richie decided to write his dialogues in newsroom English. 😅

Hey @labourtemplates.com 👋🏾

Great news today as 30 illegal e-scooters and motorised bikes were seized in the city centre. #BigUpDerby

Can't stop, won't stop the campaign to Big Up Derby! #BigUpDerby shorturl.at/KEUA2

Glad to see our campaign is getting some traction. It’s been a while coming, but we’re getting there. Now that the Council’s traffic department has agreed that a controlled crossing on this road is needed, we'll stay on them to deliver. t.ly/KyjRl #LabourListens

At the last full council meeting of Derby City Council for the year, I gave my first Cabinet Member statement for my portfolio: Streetpride, Public Safety & Leisure. I spoke about our achievements in what has undoubtedly been a challenging year and environment. #BigUpDerby

#BigUpDerby!

Learning is constant. I’m glad to be at the Association for Public Service Excellence annual seminar with Sam Dennis, Derby City Council’s outstanding Strategic Director of Place. We’ll be talking about A New Era for Frontline Services. #APSE #LocalGovernment

Thinking of collaborating with a blues artist for my next spoken word album. 🎤🎸

There is wisdom in these words.

Where my spoken word poets at?

Right, so what’s going on here then?
