That’s a £30 billion black hole in our economy, according to the IFS. And a ‘car crash’ for our care industry & the NHS. Just for starters. On the plus side, Bromsgrove currently has hundreds of union flags flying from lampposts.
Hi Alan, I've shared your post with Joanne, Rob, Nick, Max, Dan, Stu and Vlada who all send you their love and best wishes for a speedy recovery 🙏❤️
So sorry to hear that, Alan. I'm sending you lots of love and wish you all the very best ❤️
Lovely sunny day in Brum yesterday
Starmer at that press conference, giving every impression of a nervous chipmunk sitting next to an alligator that's just swallowed a hand grenade.
Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.
I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.
I really hope that you can get the support you need. ❤️

Beautiful ❤️
Wildflower strips in orchards attract insects that eat pests, reducing crop damage and cutting pesticide use. The savings can be significant, especially in bad aphid years. 🌸

I think that you misunderstood me. I took the screenshot so I know that it from the official White House twitter. I'm just incredulous that it was actually posted.
What a crazy time we're living in right now
I can't believe that that this is a genuine post and the White House tweeted it. How crass and insensitive!
The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform.
This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

Gloriously bonkers. Sometimes you just need a bit of light relief 😀

Unthinkable just 10 years ago:
Almost 3/4 of the EU’s electricity in 2024 was from renewable energy sources and nuclear.
Gas and coal electricity generation is at record low levels.
An upsetting, misshapen faux-football sticker drawing of Birmingham City centre-back Christoph Klarer. It looks almost, but not quite, entirely unlike him.
🧵 Birmingham City have WON League One so what better way for us to ruin a Bank Holiday than by spending the day drawing them. Questionably.
This is Christoph Klarer. It'll be downhill from this point.
Shares appreciated! Tell a Blues fan if you know one. Test your friendships! x
