[Save Station Street, Birmingham @OldStationSt]

They closed the UK's oldest Cinema.
One of the UK's most important music venues is rotting

Developers don't care, but the organic weird corners of a city, like Birmingham, make it worth living in.

Save Station Street.
The Electric & Crown are iconic sources of civic pride

[Flatpack Festival @flatpack]

It has been extremely moving to see the response to the news of the Electric's closure on Thursday. The main thing to say is: this is not a done deal. Working together, we can save this place. A few questions have been recurring, so here are some answers... (1/5)

A number of these are internationally significant cultural institutions that put Birmingham on the map.

They’re being irreparably damaged so you can have weekly instead of fortnightly bin collections and cheap parking.

Brums Art scene will die without the additional support that they already receive! this is going to put museums, art galleries & theatre’s etc in the firing line …very sad challenging times for us creative brummies. the end of our city’s rich culture 🥺

This recession is rooted in the design of our economy.

50 years of privatisation has meant our public resources have been turned into financial assets, increasing prices for many so a few can profiteer.

We need an economy in service of public wellbeing, not private profit.

The really scary thing about this is that our PM is now happy pushing false narratives about independent advisors like the CCC to create fear and sow division on Net Zero. Astounding lack of shame to play politics with our futures like this

[BBC Radio 4 Today @BBCr4today]

🔊 "Where was the proposal for a tax on meat? For compulsory car sharing?"

@BBCNickRobinson asks Rishi Sunak about net zero proposals the PM says he’s scrapped.

Listen to the Prime Minister's response ⬇️

Kate Raworth's hit book Doughnut Economics laid out a path to a greener, more equal society. But can she turn her ideas into meaningful change?

Always depressing to see false anti-CAZ videos like this, but there're clearly a lot of people who see sense in the replies. Terrible PR move from this BID leader. + horrible waste of money. The real stats are clear for all to see - CAZ works https://t.co/mZ4D2DVw9v

[PortsmouthCycleForum @PompeyBike]

Portsmouth is already compact, and with three quarters of the city bound by water and three roads on and off the island, it’s ripe for improving sustainable transport as the default for many journeys #ACityToShare

[Rosie Collington @RosieCollingto]

Is this where fascism begins?

How the prospect of losing an election after the party’s colossal fuck ups throughout the pandemic turbocharged the most xenophobic, fear-mongering politics of the Conservative Party.

In 2023 it arrives with cutesy emojis & Twitter sass. Insidious

[Slow Food Birmingham UK @BrumSlowFood]

We’re pleased to announce that our proposals for phase one of our urban farm atop the Vyse Street car park in the #JewelleryQuarter have been submitted to @BhamCityCouncil!
