Midlands Rail Hub has launched a consultation on the Bordesley chords project. This will allow a full commuter service on the Camp Hill Line taking it into Moor St. It will transform our rail network across the region. Drop in sessions next week. www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/midland...

They tell me I’m uncultured, but I’ll always recognise a bit of Beethoven.

Join us tomorrow 6 July, 6–8pm at The Warehouse, Digbeth (B5 5TH) to hear the latest on city centre bus improvement schemes, including Lancaster Circus, Corporation Street, Moor Street Queensway, Park Street and Coventry Road. Everyone is welcome – come along, hear the updates and ask questions.

Last night (3rd July) between 10.50-11.30 my electric cargo bike was stolen. Black Pakyak E+ with a baby carrier. First time I’d taken it to town 🥹 . I parked it on the Plain roundabout near the Cape of Good Hope pub. Secured it with a Diamond grade lock. If you saw anything please let me know.

Young British people have continued to be denied the freedom to love, learn, live, work and grow across 31 other countries on our continent because of Starmer's pro-Brexit red lines.

Yesterday, 442 trips were made via Edgbaston Road on @MoseleyCycleway. 230 headed into the city, 212 headed towards Moseley.

This kind of whining - from France - is so very Brexit. Until we take responsibility for the inevitable consequences of our own stupid choices, we will stay stuck in a sulky dead-end calling other people names. Boris Johnson rejected these data sharing arrangements. You get what you pay for. (Times)

A stronger relationship with Europe means a stronger Britain, and the choices we make now will shape Britain's place in the world for generations to come. Our future lies with Europe.

A huge thank you to everyone who visited the Moseley Dovecote and Ice House during #MoseleyinBloom #OpenGardens! We welcomed 422 visitors over the weekend. Special thanks to our fantastic volunteers, especially the gardening team who care for the gardens, and everyone who helped welcome visitors.

Yesterday, 375 trips were made via Edgbaston Road on @MoseleyCycleway. 186 headed into the city, 189 headed towards Moseley.

In the West Midlands, 59% of all Op Snap reports come from drivers, 16% from cyclists and 25% from pedestrians.

Yesterday, 956 trips were made via Edgbaston Road on @MoseleyCycleway. 436 headed into the city, 520 headed towards Moseley.

So we've moved from "Immigrants must assimilate" to "Immigrants must NOT assimilate"?

And there’s more… More lies, more dodgy deals and denials.. Farage has bought 4 houses for cash since 2020 - the year we left the EU. And declared only 2 of them. Come on people. The man’s a hot mess of corruption, racism, national security threat and greed. Let’s bin him off.

Yesterday, 438 trips were made via Edgbaston Road on @MoseleyCycleway. 191 headed into the city, 247 headed towards Moseley.

Great to meet Crafting Conversations today in Moseley Park & Pool and hear about their July programme. This group, run by volunteers, supports dozens of people every week. Today they had made community banners and their choir was performing as part of the city wide #healingartsproject

All the people who are saying it's too expensive to tackle climate change today are the same people who twenty years ago said that climate change wasn't really happening

It's great to hear Ed Davey and the LibDems arguing for the Single Market and Freedom of Movement so strongly here. More of this please! It's such a relief to hear it discussed positively! #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Hi Izzy, I'm a big supporter of this. Pavements are for people. We need enforcement agents walking down the streets ticketing the dozens of cars parked on pavements.

Cllr Grant and I have already asked officers for a briefing on this. We have a lot to catch up on but this is high on the agenda. Also planning a visit to NSL who have the current enforcement contract with BCC.

So brilliant to see this. We need these everywhere! 💚

Very thankful for the mature tree canopy helping keep us cooler in Moseley Village today. 🥵😎 🌳 Huge shout out to Moseley in Bloom and local builder Maison House for fitting water butts to some of the businesses so we can water the planting under the trees.

It tells you everything you need to know about Kemi Badneoch and Nigel Farage that as London schools, hospitals and transport networks all buckle under extreme record-breaking temperatures, they gather with fossil fuel lobbyists, climate deniers and the far-right to demand an end to Net Zero

Ten years from the event that pushed me into politics I'm reminded of my first ever speech, made in 2019 to a hall full of people at University of Birmingham, when I was campaigning with @euinbrum.bsky.social for a second referendum.

Piece by me this week - looking at the surging number of killings by police in the United States: www.economist.com/united-state...

Over the past 13 years police in the United States have killed approximately 16,000 people. Over the same period in the UK, the figure is 34

All over the Country local councillors with their local mandates have decided and will decide to work together to deal with local issues. That type of decision is overwhelmingly supported b most voters but condemned by the Tory and Labour Parties.

So Starmer is going and Burnham is (probably) coming. But the cycle of failed PMs will just continue unless he has the courage to bin Brexit. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

For Fathers' Day, Keir Starmer posts a photo of his own father, who died in 2018, and a non-political message. The replies are a torrent of vitriol & cruelty, all with hundreds of Likes. We complain a lot about the quality of leadership, but there's a huge problem with the way we treat politicians

This is flat wrong from Unite. It’s just not true there’s been ‘almost no thought for jobs, skills and national security’. There’s been a huge amount of thought on all these issues and a decision has been made that jobs, skills, and security all benefit from a faster clean energy transition.

The Conservatives' Brexit deal is costing the UK £90bn a year, money that should be spent on our schools, hospitals and Armed Forces. It's time for a stronger partnership with Europe.

After spending all day on Twitter: People are essentially evil. After spending all day in the real world: People are essentially decent. After spending all day on Bluesky: People are essentially 38 years old.

@mumsforlungs.bsky.social Birmingham supported the council’s #CleanAirDay event this week. On our stall, children wrote to councillors with clear, urgent ideas: School Streets, safer crossings, less traffic and less smoke. Thoughtful, direct messages - a reminder of the air they breathe every day.

This is an embarrassing image for the UK. A self-respecting British fox should be dragging Binface's contents out over the stage

Yesterday saw a range of inspirational speakers and panels address hundreds of passionate people who believe in a European future. Speakers included Sir Ed Davey, The Rt Hon Lord Richard Hermer, Peter Wilding, Dr Mike Galsworthy, Sir Nick Harvey, and Emma Knaggs.

Productive #CleanAirDay workshop with #WMCA on the #AirQuality Implementation Plan. Lots of options discussed, with a focus on communication, policy and governance, and active travel, plus School Streets and reducing domestic wood burning emissions. Good momentum on next steps.

Yesterday, 346 trips were made via Edgbaston Road on @MoseleyCycleway. 172 headed into the city, 174 headed towards Moseley.
