Getting a puppy mid-PhD was the best thing I ever did. Meeting writing goals and getting to spend extra time with Moo Moo is the best 🐾

Working-class children in Grimsby are losing faith in school, with many feeling they are being left behind before they even get a chance. “I just can’t do it” and “No, not really” show how some young people no longer believe they can succeed.

John Ellis, who has run the Shalom Youth Centre for 54 years, says “the education system is totally failing the whole dream of young people,” as more children stop engaging with education altogether.

@LNRailway hi folks, DM’d you

[Noel Gallagher @NoelGallagher]

RIP Brother. It was a pleasure to have known you.

A 34-year-old woman has been stabbed to death in an unprovoked attack at a bus stop in Birmingham last Friday. Djeison Rafael has been charged over the attack.

Parts of the UK are increasingly less safe for women. We need action, not more “thoughts” and how “shocked” they are.

writing my dissertation full-time with no expectation of publication or recognition was the happiest I’ve ever been

[Dr Jenny Thatcher @JennyAThatcher]

Having a Northern accent doesn't make you working class.

Academia, for example, is full of those with regional accents claiming to be working class but who went to grammar schools, had private tuition & who's parents are: teachers, lawyers, academics.

The most hated group in Britain is probably the white underclass. Middle class liberals love to bully them for being poor, uneducated, lacking dentistry and being the quintessential Orwellian prole, obsessed with booze and footy. The Benefit Street. But they're my people.

[Lisa Mckenzie @redrumlisa]

My thoughts on #Oasis they are working class men and they speak to other working class people - its never been a secret.

@ThePhDPlace Monthly, I think. Towards the end of my PhD, it was weekly - but this was largely for emotional support!

🗣️ "They should be running our country, not people pretending they’re working class because they’ve had a pint in a pub”

He’s our favourite geezer but, with a ‘posh’ role and strong views on everything, Danny Dyer is in danger of becoming a national treasure

Went to my mates last night, drank six cans of Heineken and watched every episode of Pheonix Nights. Basically just quoted it to each other. Fucking stunning male therapy

Good luck trying to impose a tariff on this double hard bastard

Today hundreds of thousands of people will scramble for #BlackSabbath tickets

For a 10yrs @BhamCityCouncil have allowed @ToyokoINN_JP to let the birthplace of @BlackSabbath & Heavy Metal rot

@BrumLeader & @Ms_SThompson it is time to CPO the spiritual home of Brum music

[Dr Charlotte Rigby @Charrrl23]

It’s all getting a bit exciting over here.. recording a podcast lecture all about my fave branch of sociology - the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies 📚

[Save Station Street, Birmingham @OldStationSt]

Lovely to speak on the importance of Black Sabbath's reunion this morning on @bbcwm with bonus @Bozzers!

Brum shaped global popular music from Station St, John Bright St & Hill St. Time to recognise The Crown was the epicenter of a global musical revolution.

Birmingham Forever!

Oh, you bought a house? Well I wrote 600 words that i'm thinking of deleting

[Dr Charlotte Rigby @Charrrl23]

I love Birmingham, I really do, but New Street is FERAL just lately. Being threatened by the homeless outside the station seems to be a daily occurrence 😵‍💫
