@Zero_4 Yesterday we had ashes dropping like snow in the rear gardens from nearby fires. Houses destroyed and people housed in community shelters a couple of miles from me in South Birmingham. Devastating. But no, nothing to see here they say.

@a_libutti My middle son was given extremely easy books at 7. I made sure he had access to plenty of library books and he was promoted to gifted. When I was told my youngest couldn't follow lessons although he had a reading age of 9 1/2 at 6, I just ignored them. Self fulfilling system.

@SamanthaHarrie3 The only one I have read is An Instance of the Finger post by Iain Pears. Thoroughly enjoyed it, I am a fun of historical fiction and crime thrillers.

Severn Trent CEO paid £3.2m despite rise in sewage dumping, bonus up 42%.

£29m pay packet since 2014

Loses 400m litres a day to leaks

At least 62 criminal convictions since privatisation

Borrows money to pay dividends.

People fleeced, bosses rewarded.

@dindin1966 @PoliticsJOE_UK They are available in other places, but Birmingham has a particular problem as it has more than double capacity for the city needs and still growing. These are cash cows for developers as they can get higher rents while providing very poor accommodation.

@JamesCleverly Really?!? What about this, your nice visa selling scheme?

[Sleepless in Brum @SleeplessBrum]

@KemiBadenoch 20k is a small number when compared with the millions you let in with your visa selling scheme. What was behind that policy, when services were already struggling?👇
