So so sorry and shocked to hear this terribly sad news. I first met @WaseemZaffar in 2013 and his sense of humour and pride in his community will stay with me for ever. May God bring healing to the hearts of all his family and friends.
With great sadness, and with a heavy heart, and by the decree of Allah swt, we announce the passing away of the @WaseemZaffar, in Islamabad, Pakistan. May Allah SWT grant him the highest rank in Jannah, Ameen.
Yesterday’s @Birmingham_Live interview with @brumlableader confirms the costly impact of their delays which we've been warning about in resolving Equal Pay.
At Full Council in October 2023, the Labour Administration were dragged kicking and screaming by statutory officers.....
As part of our plan to end the strike and clean up Birmingham, we are calling on the Labour administration to put aside their egos and ask neighbouring Councils for help clearing the rats and rubbish off our streets to protect residents from the growing public health emergency.
It's clear the Labour Council's consultation on the future of libraries is deeply flawed and appears to be carried out in bad faith with a view to closing libraries. They should scrap the consultation and their plan to close libraries now 👇
@paulmdale@brigidjones@BrumLeader That is outrageous. Sadly before I was elected in 2014, I do warmly remember you as a fabulous journalist prior to you working for the Labour Administration in 2016. My comments were from then on. Kudos to Brigid for taking charge of her own destiny class others are yet to show
Public life is always difficult, and right now public life is difficult. I think @brigidjones has done the right thing here though, and I really do wish her well in future. Now isn't it time for @BrumLeader Cllr Cotton to seriously think about whether he should be joining her?
@LewisJWarner@brumdispatch@BCCTories By your lack of replies Lewis Warner I take it you can’t answer my questions. You may owe Birmingham Despatch an apology I’ll leave that up to you.
@LewisJWarner@brumdispatch@BCCTories How do you know the outcome of a government spending review two years hence? How many other Council’s have been given funding beyond this date? Especially as there will be a general election before them. These are serious questions.
Conservative deputy leader @ewan_mackey said MailOnline raised 'very serious questions', adding that 'Labour should publish the audit reports in full, along with any other investigation, as well as answering the discrepancies highlighted'.
@AVFCOfficial Come on @AVFCOfficial you could at least wish the lad well. He was a loyal servant of the club since he was 7 and that’s all you say. If I was an academy player I’d take that of where the club’s priorities are. Not with the academy clearly.
NEW: A motion by Birmingham Conservatives forcing the city council to provide regular updates on the ongoing financial crisis has passed full council.
Cllr Alden said: “…they can no longer hide from scrutiny, no longer run from being held accountable.”
