One small part of the Birmingham Green Party team of wonderful people who have successfully ended incompetent Labour’s disastrous control of our city. Greens secured the biggest vote share across Birmingham. We did it! The real work starts now. 💚

I’ve never heard the opposition benches so quiet. Healey is coming out with a whole bunch of positive changes and the #Tories can’t find anything to complain about. Yet… #Budget #JohnHealey #ChancellerOfTheExchequer
Here we go. The first Labour Healey budget since 03/04/1979. #Budget #DenisHealey #JohnHealey #ChancellorOfTheExchequer

‘I want this war end.’ Say it in a Russian accent and it becomes even more obvious who wrote this disgusting #Putin propaganda for #Trump to copy and paste. It’s sickening. Why is America still allowing the traitor to run the country? 🤷 #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦
Kremlin couldn’t have written it better. I also like that this time the translation was pretty on point, too. ALLEGEDLY.
Villa were replicating the 4-0 scoreline from that previous #AstonVilla v #Fenerbahçe match that I attended at #VillaPark in 1977. But it’s now 5-0! #AVLFEN #ASTFEN #AVFC @avfcstatto.bsky.social
49 years and one month ago tonight, 11-year-old me was taken to #VillaPark for the first time, to see #AstonVilla 🦁v #Fenerbahçe. Tonight, we repeat that home fixture for the first time (but the 2nd time this year that we’ve played them!) I’m feeling nostalgic & wish I were there. #AVLFEN #ASTFEN
Frank Sriracha would’ve made a great showbiz double act with Simon Mayo. 😄 💃 🕺 @simonmayo.bsky.social #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing #CachMercer #FrankSinatra
Badenoch’s in-depth knowledge of the defence project that she has decided to make up is very reminiscent of Dawn French’s breakfast TV ‘royal expert’. Only that was funny. This is painful. #KemiBadenoch #NotASeriousPolitician #DontCallItAnIronDomeEvenThoughWeDid #Conservatives #CPC2026
"I'm not a defence expert." Even by Kemi Badenoch's lamentable standards, this is agonising. Just give thanks she will never, ever be Prime Minister. 🙏 #politicslive
I knew #JeffreyArcher was a scumbag, but I hadn’t realised quite how far his scumbaggery went back, until reading this. This is the person some current #Conservatives think is an inspiration, rather than a warning.
Just as a counterpoint to some of the obituaries this morning, here's the start of the Archer chapter in my history of political lying, The Lies of the Land:
“I’m a haggis. Get me out of here!” #CelebrityTraitors #TheCelebrityTraitors @claudiawinkleman.bsky.social
I’m not sure that ‘Oh yes, we already knew about these dangerous terrorists & their evil plot… but now we’re letting them go’ is really going to stand up to much examination. Over to you, #Trump and #Streeting… 🤷 #RAFFairford #Gloucestershire #TerroristsNotTerrorists www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...
It was an absolute joy to meet @robinince.bsky.social at my local #TheHeath bookshop earlier. We more or less confirmed that we’d met around 30 years ago, as I’d always suspected, at #TheBear in #Bearwood, when Robin did our Thursday comedy club & I pretended I knew how to run the sound desk.
#poetrychallenge is coming to Kings Heath today between 2 and 4 at Heath Bookshop - pop in and request a #poem - after I’ve written it I will record and subtitle it to make sure it is properly accessible www.theheathbookshop.co.uk #creativity #birmingham
PS. Robin, the TV show that I was struggling to name was ‘Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled’. I remembered before I even got back to my car! @robinince.bsky.social
The fact that two international icons were born on exactly the same day in 1949 has been embedded in my brain for a few years now. So, this morning, when #BBCRadio2 mentioned that #BruceSpringsteen is 77 today, I immediately thought ‘Happy birthday, Floella’! 😀 Happy 77th birthday to both of them! 🥳
Feeling blessed today on my 77th birthday ❤️🥳❤️
Happy Earth, Wind & Fire Day* to all those who celebrate! (*And the penultimate day of summer in the Northern hemisphere.) #EarthWindAndFire #21September youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk
⚽️ 🐓2-3🦁 Phew! A league win, at the 5th attempt. But Villa’s players tried their best to give it away, after leading 0-3 at 86 minutes. We’re up to the giddy heights of 15th. Onwards and upwards! ⚽️ #TOTAST #TOTAVL #AstonVilla #AVFC #Talksport @avfc-official.bsky.social
I know who one of these 25 people is, and I’ve vaguely heard of the person at #1. And that’s it. I am 245 years old. (And I don’t use #TikTok.) #RollingStone #ContentCreators #FingerOnThePulse
it’s that time of year again, Rolling Stone released their list of the top 25 content creators, which is actually a test of how old and out of touch you are… the lower your score, the more out of touch i’ve heard of 11 out of 25
