I don’t think people realise how awful it is in Ukraine right now. Yesterday my friend posted how it’s -9 and because of the power cuts - due to Russian attacks - she has no heating. This is in Kyiv. And this is the day after a mass missile & drone strike killed four people.

In Birmingham. Yes, it snowed!

But if FCDO stepped up we could reverse this blockage. So much to report on!

BBC's Tim Davie to the Public Accounts Ctte this week on the World Service: "I think the UK should be spending double the amount on this service. Look what China and Russia are doing. It is absolutely paramount we invest in a unique, precious strategic asset." ... But domestic services come first.

I don’t know what’s worse tbh - the small ones were a blight, but these canisters are heavy and awkward for litter pickers. I’ve also seen extra-large helium canisters dumped. Bigger issue is that more is being inhaled at once. Either way, the problem clearly hasn’t gone away

Over 1,000 nitrous oxide canisters collected in Moseley, Brum - despite being banned. A public health, environmental & road safety issue, as the city faces a road safety emergency and the UK launches a new strategy today. Our streets shouldn’t look like this www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...

Sun, shadows and a little snowman in Highbury Park today.

Thank you to all the businesses a& community groups who sponsored this year’s Christmas lights. (It also includes Balla Barbers). Every donation helps to keep Moseley looking bright, welcoming and colourful all year round. Please take time to thank them all when you are about in Moseley.

Repost rather than like if you want followers to see this message and help.

A little festive joy for #PostBoxSaturday 🎄 Love this gingerbread house topper ❤️ Thank you to Moseley Knit and Natter for once again brightening our streets and making people smile.

Successful #LibDem amendment to a #Council Motion on Public Safety in #Birmingham presented by #Moseley Cllr Izzy Knowles who served in the West Midlands Police for over 30years. #LibDems bring competent solutions that make a difference 🔶 youtu.be/Hhwwa50O09c @izzyknowles.bsky.social #LibDems4Brum

Christmas lights switch-on last night - and the street felt so much better opened up to people. A space designed for walking, wheeling (that rumoured cycle path 👀), and community could make Moseley Village Green even better for the market, events and everyday village life. #Moseley #PlacesForPeople

this is mesmerizing

A story I absolutely would have been covering if they hadn't killed off Science in Action. We had @carnegiescience.bsky.social 's Bob Hazen on about the steps building to this precisely because the chemical traces of early life seemed so promising. carnegiescience.edu/chemical-evi...

The Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) has been activated. If you are concerned about someone sleeping rough in Birmingham you can alert the outreach team via StreetLink. thestreetlink.org.uk For accommodation out of hours, Birmingham City Council's duty team are available on 0121 303 2296.

We’ll ask for the leaves to be cleared. We have quite a long list of roads we are asking for leaves to be cleared! The good news is we have been advised Wake Green Road between Yardley Wood Road and Church Rd is scheduled for resurfacing in February next year.

This morning Cllr Philip, Cllr dog Mason and I checked the drains on Wake Green Road near to Lench’s Close, where it flooded yesterday. We have taken photos and will ask for them all to be flushed out. We’ve also reported some bad pot holes near to the Warwick Court bus stop.

@ecorecord.bsky.social The (famous) No 50 bus broke down and I walked past this neglected verge near the Smithfield site in Moat Lane. I’ve added pictures of 14 wild flowers to iNaturalist but don’t know how to create a collage for @wildflowerhour.bsky.social There were other species not flowering

If you starve public services that would have traditionally responded to matters like this, then don’t be surprised stuff like organised crime proliferates www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My incredibly eagle-eyed neighbour spotted that the BBC video “Free bus passes for under 22s in England scrapped” was filmed at the bus stop opposite the Dovecote in Moseley. While it’s disappointing news, it was lovely to see a little glimpse of our local gem 🕊️ @fionaamoseley.bsky.social

Front page of the Science in Action webpage today, with even more feel of finality. On the left hand side: The BBC brings you all the week's science news. On the right hand side: No upcoming broadcasts.

Having just finished the final episode, I’m filled with both sadness and gratitude. The weekly programme will be greatly missed — a true loss for the BBC and for science communication worldwide.

A huge beech tree at the end of the big long pond has fallen down blocking the path. You need to walk round on the grass if you're going that way today.

Yesterday we said goodbye to @kerryjenkins.bsky.social - a fierce heart for clean air, safe streets, youth services & social justice. Grateful for her support & backing my campaigns. She inspired us to keep fighting for a fair united Brum. Thinking of her loved ones as we carry her spirit forward ❤️

So chuffed to hear King’s Heath Park garden nursery is to be saved from closure. This u turn is absolutely down to significant community opposition and a petition of almost £5000 signatures. Thank you to everyone who helped with this campaign, especially the Parks friend’s groups. #communitypower

Interesting insights into the challenges and complexity of building the new Camp Hill Line stations, especially Moseley - a great look at what goes on behind infrastructure projects. www.newcivilengineer.com/in-depth/ins...

And maybe save Science in Action from the axe? www.theguardian.com/media/2025/o...

Huge thanks to Moseley Forum for hosting a Road Safety Open Meeting 🙏 Our Chair, Martin Price, joined Mat MacDonald, Sarah Chaundler (City of Cars) & Cllr Izzy Knowles. Great to see prospective candidates + residents debating how to make our streets safer, healthier & more liveable #SafeStreetsNow

I am already in contact with faith leaders to support a local interfaith forum. I have also reached out to offer support and reassurance to the head of King David School in Moseley. 😥

I am devastated to hear of the news of an attack on a Jewish community in Manchester on Yom Kippur. My thoughts are with the local Jewish community who will now be fearful on an important day of observance in the Jewish calendar.
