'Joseph Chamberlain must be turning in his grave'.

The words of Peaky Blinders creator and the new James Bond writer Steven Knight CBE on Glenbrook Property wanting to demolish the 115yr old, oldest working cinema in the UK, Birmingham's The Electric for a tower block

Birmingham. We don't care if you have to bite the head off a bat to do it, just save The Crown

It gave us Ozzy Osbourne & Black Sabbath, Robert Plant, John Bonham, Judas Priest, The Beat and dozens more. It changed the world. It's our Mount Rushmore. Do it. Today.

@HSRailGroup Does this diminish the need for Heathrow Expansion? How much extra capacity is there at BHX?

[Save Station Street, Birmingham @OldStationSt]

This is a challenge to @BhamCityCouncil, @BrumLeader & @RichParkerLab

You've 80 days until Black Sabbath say farewell. The Birthplace of Sabbath, Birmingham's The Crown is a dump.

At least get the ground floor open, even temporarily, for tourists to get a pint in by 5th July.

We're another day closer to the 1 yr anniversary of @Glenbrookprop closing The Electric Cinema.

The 115yr of heart of independent art in the city.

Today we're calling on Birmingham politicians to use the 1st March anniversary to reiterate support for saving The Electric

@Chris4Patches @WardEndGFTC @real_brum Awesome work! Fingers crossed you see the wild ponies in Sutton Park. Enjoy!

[Rob Ankcorn @Ankcorn]

@WardEndGFTC @Team4Nature Looks like an awesome walk! Hope you enjoy!

[Rob Ankcorn @Ankcorn]

@WoodinRivers I wrote a book for AtoZ with self guided walks around Brum - feel free to check it out if you think would be helpful. With the city centre one I think The Old Crown was in but sadly Mr Egg was out.

@simonharlin @SarahCoombesWB Thank Simon. Flying visit before Glastonbury. Fit in a great evening on York Road too though!

[Rob Ankcorn @Ankcorn]

Great to fit in some campaigning for @SarahCoombesWB on my brief trip home! Lots of people on the doorstep are eager for change and for Sarah as their MP. Now to cool down from the heat!

@PJTheEconomist Anyone have this graph as a % of each decile’s average income?

[Rob Ankcorn @Ankcorn]

@EmmaS_AP Looks great! Can’t wait

[Lee Hinton @LeeAHinton95]

Been waiting a long time to see it like this again! 💙 #bcfc

[Rob Ankcorn @Ankcorn]

Support the Labour Party? Are a hard worker? Fancy making a big difference in the West Mids? Then consider applying to these positions. One will be working hard in West Brom to help elect Sarah Coombes! No political background required. Reach out to Sarah for more details!

[Rob Ankcorn @Ankcorn]

@IPC_Amy Massive congratulations Amy. Richly deserved and a fantastic appointment for Walsall.

[Rob Ankcorn @Ankcorn]

Black Country friends and former colleagues who are members of the Labour Party - definitely give this a watch. Sarah will make an amazing MP for WBE and will give the constituency the representation it needs and deserves in Parliament. I’m with you Sarah 🌹

[Rob Ankcorn @Ankcorn]
