This is why we need our NHS. The further down the route of privatisation we go, the closer we get to this: https://t.co/UTcVa5CW58

Great to see former Pub du Vin reopening as The White Lion under @hotelduvinbirmingham in @ColmoreBID Just the right amount of change. Plus a pool table!

The ‘car-centric carchitecture’ Ringway takes are a specious attempt to intellectualise a purely emotive reaction or aesthetic preference.

The concrete collar is the road, not the building.

The building doesn’t have parking and doesn’t encourage car use, the road does.

Birmingham could’ve set a great example here, I’m gutted

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Birmingham City Council planning committee have voted 7-4 to approve the demolition of the Ringway Centre for the second time. This is the wrong decision for the city's heritage, environment, businesses and residents.

More to follow...

I found these graphs horrifying on TV last night.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

My god. What an indictment of 12 years of Tory govt.

@C4Ciaran has compared NHS performance in 2023 with that in 2011:

▪️x10 worse 4-hour A&E waits
▪️x13 worse 18 wk waits for care
▪️x14 worse cancer waits
▪️x16 worse 4-hour trolley waits
▪️x3,000 worse 12-hour trolley waits

Brexit is defined by those who champion it…. Johnson, Rees-Mogg, Leadsom, Frost, Jenkyns… a dismal array of the most dishonest, venal and moronic politicians we’ve ever had the misfortune to have in govt…
So, it is inevitable that it is an epic shitshow. And always will be.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Given former Brexit Secretary, David Davis has popped up again…

Your reminder that he turned up to Brexit talks without a single sheet of paper or a pen.
