This is the Platonic ideal of the kind of statement we need from opposition party leaders right now. It's not a leftist speech; it's not lawyerly speech. It's a *political* speech by a *mainstream* elected representative that speaks in exactly the right register to the moment.

I know you're all desperate to get home and read the books you've bought to celebrate World Book Day, so consider this official permission to leave work early. And if you haven't yet got a book, don't worry, there's still time! Just pop into your nearest indie bookshop on the way!

If you missed our event last night, we do have signed copies of The List of Suspicious Things and This Motherless Land on the website and in store now! - Michael

You hear that little voice in the back of your mind telling you to buy a book? Listen to it. - Michael

First book of the day was "Project Hail Mary". We've definitely talked about this before, but I don't think I can undersell how amazing this book is. - Michael

Boundary Comission Review report out Biggest proposed change for Olton not going ahead as this did not reflect our local community. We made our voice loud and clear with local residents voicing opposition alongside local Cllr’s and Solihull Lib Dem’s Together we can make the change

Lemon almond blueberry loaf cakes hit the spot this weekend

This is so good to see. The gut wrenching pain following the loss of your baby can stay with you for many years and remains a in the main a taboo issue. I have suffered miscarriage and will never forget the babies the might have been www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

This is a powerful opinion piece by Simon Tisdall in the Guardian. Spot on references to Orwell’s 1984 and parallels to today’s geopolitics. Warning to all of the threat posed by far right politics www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is the very worse of tyranny. Nothing more than ‘punishment’ for Ukraine not bowing down to Putin. UK and EU must work to fill this gap left by US. #StandWithUkraine US has suspended all military aid to Ukraine, White House official says, in wake of Trump-Zelenskyy row

The UK should be "supporting" Zelenskyy and not "fawning over Putin", Sir Keir Starmer tells Nigel Farage 👏

🙌

Thanks for sharing @georgemonbiot.bsky.social. This is must read. People need to wake up and see what is really happening in the UK. It has happened in the US - it can happen here

Those of us pushing back against Farage are constantly undermined by Labour's pandering to him, and its destruction, one by one, of more hopeful visions of the future. Read this excellent column by @johnharris1969.bsky.social to see just how far it has gone. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Fully agree. Unite hard. Unite fast

It's only a matter of time now before the fascist Reform Party owner Farage calls for the UK to leave NATO. It must be clear to everyone now that he is the British arm of Putin's attack upon the West. An agitator for hire. A racist grifter who wants to see the UK reduced to an irrelevant sideshow.

To whoever made this in Elmdon Park, Solihull. Made my day. Really made Milos day #randomactsofkindness

We’re open, I’m back, and will be spending the morning working out what I’m meant to be doing. - Michael

Ok, my husband and I see eye to eye on most things. An area of disagreement is his love of marmite on crumpets. Is this combination a yes or a no??

‘Connection is why we are here. It gives us connections and purpose in our lives’ first heard these words from Brené Brown in 2010 in her power of vulnerability Ted Talk. Dipped in and out of it for 25 years. With community connection we can lead the change we need. www.ted.com/talks/brene_...

BREAKING: “If you want to preserve the peace you have to be prepared to defend the peace” Prime minister Keir Starmer 👏

At the summit in London, European and NATO leaders have gathered without the U.S and Donald Trump.

Well said 🙌

I want a trade deal with the EU, not America. Join the SM and CU and put the UK on a much stronger footing to fight Russia's asset in the White House.

Can this be any more blatant??
