@SimonCalder I would rather have the direct trains from London - be easier to implement with security & passport control to be sorted. If there was a direct train from regions, you'd probably still have to get off it in London, so what's the point?

Dear Nigel. Take your uninformed, unwanted opinions about #autism and take a long walk off the end of Clacton Pier, you complete scobberlotching fopdoodle.

In 10 days the 115yr old Electric Cinema will have been closed for 1 year by @Glenbrookprop

Will authorities let another vital part of Birmingham's identity be erased for a soulless tower?

Is it profit over people again?
Must Brummies watch our history being erased again?

Trump, Vance and Hegseth have created an opportunity for Labour if it has the courage. Farage and Reform must be confronted as the quisling party - anti-British collaborators with those who will not defend Europe but neither work with Europe better to defend itself. Traitorous.

@NorwichMatt @bulkbiker @LabourList @LGBTLabour I suspect you're a prat.

@RobMitch92 Thanks for posting @RightfulLives Every professional should reflect on this. Wonder if the -ve reactions had anything to do with the fact they they're gay? Hope not. Shows that relationships often aren't taken seriously. Love that they're still having sex and upsetting people!

Sport cancelled in order to do 'grammar' (that is inaccurate and is being misused as a means to evaluate writing), and to run tests that are purely in order to assess teachers. Education, England 2025.

One street. Two iconic venues at risk. But who cares about Birmingham I guess?

[Nigel Hodges @NigelHodges9]

@RightfulLives @wesstreeting And perhaps ensure that there are sufficiently appropriately qualified staff to provide community support and that services have the right value base. In other words,they offer person centred care which is holistic, not leaving gaps cos of professional arrogance / silo thinking.

17-year-old Jen Bridges - Chalkley died waiting for NHS therapy. Jen killed herself after enduring a long wait for the necessary mental health support. Why were so many opportunities missed to save her?
