It’s time our buses run for us, with the routes we need.

A happy 140th birthday to @thefabians! The contribution of the Fabians to British public life over the last fourteen decades has been significant and we continue to have a major impact. Why not join us and help shape the future of the left in Britain?

Under the new Labour leadership, Birmingham City Council has agreed a way forward that will bring about an end to the Council's historic equal pay liability.

The Tories couldn’t be bothered to make their minds up about the most important issue facing our council.

BREAKING NEWS: PCC @SimonFosterPCC has SAVED Quinton Police Station.

The building, which has been shut since 2019, will once again house a Neighbourhood Police Team.

It comes after the PCC approved @WMPolice Chief Constable's proposal. https://t.co/w1SfcvRj7z

Birmingham's Clean Air Zone has reduced the levels of nitrogen dioxide pollution in our city centre, and levels of this dangerous gas are now nearly 40% lower than they were in 2016!

We are building a cleaner, healthier Birmingham for everyone. 🌹

[Birmingham & West Midlands Fabians @BhamWMFabians]

Should have started building it in Manchester. They wouldn't cancel a London leg.
