Love this insider view of Birmingham, which mentions the city's newest gallery @StryxArts - now selling work by local contemporary artists! theguardian.com/culture/2024/a… @joelycett
Ms Badenoch has admitted to breaking the law in 2008 and there was precisely no interest from the media about prosecuting her. theguardian.com/technology/201… She is now a government minister. #r4today @BBCr4today
And don't forget our petition: change.org/saveoldstation…
Well well. I overheard a close adviser to Susan Hall bellowing drunkenly on the phone that she has secret plans to introduce 'London weighting'. Anyone with a BMI of 30 or over has to pay an extra £5 to go on the Tube or bus! Disgraceful! How can hardworking Londoners afford etc
Happy Maggies Death Day. This woman on the day of her funeral will be forever in our hearts ❤️
Well well. One of Susan Hall’s advisers has spilled the beans and let slip that she’s planning to charge pedestrians £12 a day to walk round London and an extra £5 if you use more than 10 pedestrian crossings a day. How can hard working Londoners afford this? Total madness.
We've sent our petition update to @David4BKH for submitting to @BhamCityCouncil - as we've passed 20,000 signatures this should trigger full debate at City Council. Due to local elections this may not be scheduled before May 2nd election though. Petition: change.org/saveoldstation…
Whats telling is that so many people seem to think it’s ok to have an ugly canyon of a dual carriageway running between the two most attractive parts of the second largest city in the country (and one that a lot of outsiders dismiss as a road-blighted hellhole)

Putting party politics aside, I've always felt (for essentially the entire 7 years of the West Midlands Combined Authority) that we've never made the most of it. It's hard to look at other regions showing ambition and nerve while we sort of settle for fantasy maps and photo ops.

Incumbent Tory mayors Ben Houchen and Andy Street have today shared social media posts with almost identical text distancing themselves from the Conservative Party. In the last week The Conservative Party has spent £3,462 on Facebook ads for Houchen, and £10,438 for Street.
Update on my promises: Halve Inflation: Like that was anything to do with me Grow The Economy: It is now smaller than when I became PM Reduce Debt: Now at its highest since the 60s Cut Waiting Lists: Still at a record high Stop The Boats: Crossings this year are highest ever
It's worth after a few weeks reiterating the focus of our campaign to #SaveStationStreet - The closure of The Electric was the catalyst but we're looking at the whole street and how it should be treated by the Land Owners and developers... 🧵
Andrea, this new found level of integrity you have is a real positive step forward for you, your party & the country. I can’t wait for your watchful gaze to be cast over Hunt, Mcvey, Pincher, Benton or even Rishi himself. What an exciting few weeks you have left in power. Enjoy.

@Conservatives Keep my city's name out of your mouth. I will do everything I can to ensure Brummies do not vote for you charlatans. You're a total disgrace to this country.
The @Conservatives have now truly scraped the bottom of their barrel. The triple Z list replacement for 30p Lee Anderson is Johnathan Gullis The Tories deserve a total wipeout at the election and I'll be delighted to help with that all the way
What are the @Conservatives running scared of? Could it be the great British people? Like to tell @RishiSunak to call a General Election now! Share to help ensure that the Tories suffer their worst election defeat in history, and are relegated into third place!

Views = Own 🇪🇺UK voters have firmly rejected the politics of cruelty & division so why does the BBC continue to silence so many moderate & deserving voices & amplify the extremism of MPs like #SuellaBraverman ? Such editorial choices feel like they’ve chosen a side .
Incredible. Conservatives trounced in the local elections, but the bbc flagship politicial programme #bbclaurak lead “interview” is an unchallenged rant from the delusional, divisive, twice-sacked, right wing crank, Suella Braverman. Why was she platformed? #LauraKuenssberg
Look at what Andy Burnham has done for Manchester, let’s hope our future looks just as bright. We need a leader, not a photo opportunist.
Needs a police investigation. If we’re to have a PCC, flammable listed buildings should be high on @SimonFosterPCC’s list of priorities.
Grade II listed The Victoria Suite, Smethwick. Closed since 2021. Amazing how these buildings, standing for almost 100yrs suddenly become so flammable shortly after closing. Currently owned by Falcon Cash & Carry, Bexley. …te.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/081970…
Richard Parker - acceptance speech. Magnanimous in victory. Andy Street - valedictory address. Gracious in defeat. Gold standard statecraft. That's how it's done. #WestMidlands
I believe Andy Street is running the Birmingham half marathon today. I feel as if I've been hit by a bus after last few weeks campaigning, fair play if he manages it.
This is the way to make an acceptance speech Hats off to the new West Midlands Mayor, Richard Parker who spoke so well of Andy Street for his service to our region. Compare and contrast with Susan Hall and Britain First in London 1/ 🧵
Candidates like Andy Street look like they’re in the wrong party. Doesn’t means they should be Labour. Just means they don’t look at home with the Tories.
A damning critique of Laura Kuenssberg’s Time as BBC Political Editor from @BylineTimes bylinetimes.com/2022/03/30/lau…
Wobble your heads. Also in my living memory who went in to minority deals and coalition ... You got it, it was the Conservatives.
🔴 Labour would have to enter a “coalition of chaos” with other parties to win office, No 10 sources have suggested, after an analysis said the general election could produce a hung parliament telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
Here's what's gone wrong for the Conservative party. They didn't adopt austerity in 2010 because the economy needed it. They adopted it because it allowed them to do an ideological shrinkage of the state, while blaming Labour. Austerity wasn't economics, it was pure politics.
Give that 69% want an end to Brexit and only 13% don't. Why is there not even a suggestion of another Referendum?
Thought that Street gave a very dignified speech at the declaration. He’s been very good to work with over the last few years. Someone put to me that most people have to grow a hatred of Andy Street. I’m very glad that the Andy in office did not resemble the Tories in the last…
Thank you to @andy4wm for meeting with us twice in the run up to the election regarding Station Street. Your speech after the result last night was dignified and respectful and a credit to you. The future of the Tory party should follow that lead not its current Trumpism.
Huge congratulations @RichParkerLab. You & your team led a dignified & respectful campaign & were justly rewarded. We look forward to being a pain in the neck for 4 years while we Save Station Street & fight for communities currently locked out of their own city’s future
Worst ever Birmingham Half finish time. This campaign has ruined my running the last 2 months. Worth it though. Felt properly angry running past The Crown & The Electric & them both being boarded up. An embarrassment for our city in front of thousands.
The green party got over 180 councillors. Reform got 2 The entire British media: Let's talk to Richard Tice & ask him how his party became the new dominant force in U.K politics. Christ on a fuckin' bike
ANALYSIS: Labour taking the Tory crown jewel a momentum shift. Victories that settle as defining moments in political narrative are few and far between. Today was one of them, the West Mids win bringing joy, relief and momentum for Labour news.sky.com/story/labour-t…
