It’s absolutely freezing in @Gails_Bakery Solihull. Swear it’s colder in here than it is outside.

Roads in cities should be:
-Smaller
-Slower
-Safer
The era of accepting stroads with 6 lanes is over.

When Birmingham's politicians post about Black Sabbath today remind them that without venues like The Crown, Electric or Futurist (all closed) then chances of today's working class Brummies changing the world through art like Sabbath did are almost nonexistent. Demand they act.

Israel has dropped almost 75,000 bombs and shells on Gaza in 200 days, twenty times more than the US aimed at Iraq in six years of war.
The world's 200 bloodiest days since the Rwandan genocide. It’s not war. It’s genocide.

A reminder that the ‘enormous cost’ of building the West Midlands Metro extension to Dudley is *half* the cost of ONE ROUNDABOUT in Bedfordshire.

Also whilst we’re at it. Why have companies like @PrettyGreenltd @fredperry @Lyle_and_Scott opened outlets in the Birmingham’s most ignored commercial route in Link Street then inevitably closed down. Footfall and presence are entirely different things.

Why haven’t @slimchickensuk @joeandthejuice and the like opened city centre outlets in Birmingham? Why only in Grand Central tucked away? It’s like they don’t want the money.

I’m sick and tired of how dark the streets are in the City Centre, it’s embarrassing. How can leaders expect anyone to feel safe walking down streets like this?
Dimming street lights will damage our NTE and make people feel less safe when out in the evening. It also undermines Bham’s transport plan, which aims to encourage walking and cycling. It’s inexcusable, particularly when so many city centre streets are already effectively unlit.

Went to the Balloon Museum in Madrid last summer it was 19.50€ and a good laugh so I wanted to go whilst they’re in London. Just checked prices and it’s THIRTY EIGHT POUNDS. Seriously, why is it £38.45?!!

If devolved administrations have been able to deliver something that central government can’t maybe we should scrap central government.
Both @andy4wm & @AndyBurnhamGM deserve credit for this
The current Govt plan of sending trains up west coast mainline won’t work unless trains are shorter than ones we use today, & there is a huge bill of upgrades
We need a serious answer for #Manchester to #Brum.
