As a left leaning non partisan watching the Labour Party’s struggles, I really hope that whatever’s next, they stop trying to compete with Reform. Even before they won the last general election, I felt let down by divisive rhetoric like ‘We’re on the side of motorists’ Wtf? Integrity is everything

Feels appropriate now to repost this as the Green Party becomes the second largest in #Birmingham and the others are queuing up to go into coalition with them. Democracy means that Reform will be represented on our council but our beautiful, richly diverse city will not be controlled by them.

Week two of the Claudia Winkleman show is an absolute banger of a chat show. Agree there was a real awkwardness to the first one (not quite as bad as @theguardian.com review) but this was superb. Not keen on the US style music/ set vibe but if it continues in tonight’s vein, this’ll be a winner.

Air pollution is a health crisis: ~900 premature deaths in Birmingham each year, and thousands of children hospitalised. The World Health Organization says no level of air pollution is safe, and 1 in 11 UK children have asthma. Join @mumsforlungs.bsky.social to campaign for change #CleanAirCrowd

In Brum, daily vehicles are up nearly 9,000 since 2022. More cars = more danger, more pollution at child height, fewer kids walking or cycling. If we care about children’s health, it’s time to introduce a congestion charge - and cut traffic, not just emissions. www.itv.com/news/central...

“Over 40k people die in car crashes in the US every year. Entire neighborhoods are carved up by high-speed traffic. Kids can’t walk to school safely. But don’t worry – someone saw a teenager run a stop sign on an e-bike, so the real crisis must be those darn batteries on two wheels.”

That ride with @alcarns.bsky.social looked like this. Thank you to Al for making time to meet local residents concerned about tackling road danger and making it easier to get around the Selly Oak constituency and the wider city, including several from @betterstreetsforbirmingham.org.

A group of four people riding along the A38 blue route, a high quality separated cycleway.

A group of residents (aged approx. 2 - 52) with Al Carns MP discussing the joys and challenges of walking, wheeling and cycling around Bournville and the wider constituency.

I’ve always leant into action-focussed change rather than waiting for politicians, but hate to say that here in Brum, never before have we needed political change more than now. Worried from what dark corners that cd emerge, how about a ‘Better B’ham- streets, homes, health and childhoods’ party?
