      4. We are also about to host the #Birmingham2022 #CommonwealthGames - an amazing opportunity to showcase the city and attract in millions of vital investment. The leadership here too is almost wholly white in composition.https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/birmingham-commonwealth-games-2022-diversity-18455089 …

      5. Is this a surprise? Should we care? Does it matter? Isn't it just about getting the best people for the job? Not for the first time, the city's commitment to diversity in leadership is being questioned and it doesn't look brilliant.

      6. Back in 2001, @BhamCityCouncil hosted the Stephen Lawrence Commission, to look at systemic racism in public sector, following the teen's racist murder. It found a lack of representation at the top was a problem. Recommendations were made, progress was pledged...

      7. It reported there was "institutionalised racism" in the city council and a "tendency for blacks and whites to live in different areas". 'Despite years of anti-racist initiatives the council had failed to achieve its objectives because of a "lack of will" at the top.

      8. It pointed out how little racial diversity there was in the corridors of power. Then there were riots, and more reports and inquiries, then in 2017 @andy4wm set up a leadership commission to investigate it. And here we are today...

      9. There are no easy solutions - as @PauletteHamilto @PreetKGillMP @braphumanrights @AnitaBhalla @S_H_Saeed @COREeducate @CllrMajid and more articulate. But something has to change or we will always get what we've always got.https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/uncomfortable-truth-lack-diversity-birminghams-18508132 …

      A region-wide Positive Action strategy is needed. Otherwise the situation will become worse, with the colonial model of governance becoming even more embedded.

      I agree with @PreetKGillMP when she talks about sustainable change and tapping into city’s energy and talent. I would hope she and her parliamentary colleagues will keep this important matter on the agenda in order for a more just future.

      Excellent contributions from @DESJADDOO and @khalid4PB to the debate on the ‘oh so white’ leadership in Birmingham and the surrounding region. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=HxlulPZ03Ak …

      @DESJADDOO: Do you think there is racial bias when it comes to making key decisions? @khalid4PB There is non-acceptance of BAME people. They are not seen to fit into the Old Boys’ culture.

      I do believe there is because of the lack of reflective governance where there is important decision-making. The exclusion clearly speaks for its self. We no longer must talk about this we must address it with solid action.

          We are coming up to the 20th Anniversary of the Birmingham Stephen Lawrence Commission. It was a ground-breaking report on diversity in the city. It would be timely to do a programme @DESJADDOO and feature articles @JaneRockHouse to assess the progress
