Little known fact: Jesus Christ, a blond white man, was born in Rome. He wasn’t a carpenter, he was a barista who followed AS Roma. He made a top pizza too. His mother cried when he left home. #Jesus #whoknew

A new report shows that EU membership is the best way to grow the UK economy - and a majority of voters would now vote to rejoin the EU. We asked people why they want to rejoin. Here's what they said.

Actually Nigel no one cares Farage. Most people don’t want corrupt politicians. We don’t want politicians that can be bought by the rich. We had enough of that under the Tories. I think you’ll find that most people do care, very much so. #FarageBung #Farage #Reform #Corruption

Nearly every problem faced by the incoming UK Prime Minister will require a large sum of money to resolve it. Two immediate solutions that would generate money: 1 Rejoin EU 2 Wealth tax If they are not proposed then the UK will continue to decline.

A lamppost with a flag tied to it. The flag has a pale blue background and the word 'Peace' in white all caps in the middle. Around the word is a heart made up of multiple national flags.A lamppost featuring 3 flags. From top to bottom: a Union flag, an EU flag, a progress pride flag with the words 'love' and 'unity' on it.

UK joining the EU is inevitable because it’s undeniable that outside in the UK is weaker, poorer and more isolated outside. These are facts. You can’t then demand your government do better, fix services, fix the economy, yet deny them the largest and most single opportunity to do just that #RejoinEU

Dear Lord Mayor

Congratulations on your appointment on Tuesday 19 May 2026. We, as a Group, look forward to working with you to help steer the authority through the many challenges ahead.

We do, however, feel it necessary to address an item of the AGM that we found unsatisfactory.

As you rightly said in your maiden speech, Birmingham is a diverse area of many cultures and religions. In this spirit, we, as a Group, collectively felt that the Islamic readings in Arabic were inappropriate.

We appreciate and respect your own religious faith, however, that section of the meeting was not inclusive to the many other groups across this city.

We hence ask that all items at future council meetings be spoken in the English language as a sign of unity across all groups in our society.

Yours sincerely.
