As a tram user in Birmingham I only have one source of real-time information about services....yes it's X . Unbelievable.

I built up a reasonably successful market/social research agency from scratch in the 1990s and I am disheartened by these attempts at "polling" [ by people who probably share my world view). Can't remember a serious attempt to be definitive in 1.45 hrs. Please grow up.

BBC news working hard to avoid covering yesterday's events.....funny that...!

Celtic fans can't attend Old Firm games at Ibrox and likewise Rangers fans at Parkhead. Is this viewed as anti-catholic/protestant? No it's police advice, and everyone grudgingly accepts it. Get a grip Starmer

What a dreadful poll question.

Stop complaining....since your call is important to them! 😂😂

There has to be an annual award for such abject bollocks.....

I'm sure that like me he has lived in inner Birmingham (or Bradford/Newham) for many years to inform such a knowledgeable perspective.......FFS what utter bollocks.

Just turned off the Today programme which led with Trump 's "change of direction" on Ukraine. Moronic journalism based on a throwaway remark by the man-baby

Before England v Andorra at Villa Park. These are the reasonable voices you listen to Barney?

.....yes but mass murder is OK if we offer thoughts and prayers.....

The Times headlines on Tuesday & Thursday. Surely worthy of some kind of award for abject journalism

....formerly a quality journal, and now there is a gaping hole on Sundays....

What a nonsense post. Sutton station is a 300 metres away ffs. The park is lovely but maintenance has diminished over the years so what better way to recoup a bit of cash? Just keep a bit of free parking space for people that need it. The carshaggers have ruled Brum for too long!

She is my constituency MP, indeed she had my vote. I’ll get writing over the weekend

Oh Jess…..Yardley is blue!!!

Spare a thought for the poor billionaires who backed Trump — and hate tariffs | Marina Hyde As the great American self-own rages on, the super-rich are beginning to break rank. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s gone suspiciously quiet, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Trade Wars, Episode V: The Empire Shoots Itself in the foot and financial markets fail to appreciate the genius, tariff-excreting president Trump

As the world burns, we’ve got to take our cheap thrills where we can – so who’s your favourite embarrassingly disillusioned billionaire Trump backer?

Great stuff Tan, keep it going!!!!

Labour urged to defend workers’ rights bill as poll shows huge public support Exclusive: Poll reveals 72% of UK voters favour ban on zero-hours contracts, including majority of Tory and Reform supporters

Be careful what you wish for…..I ran a market & social research agency using (well-paid) zero hours for fieldwork which worked well for the undergrad and postgrad field force to match their availability which varied from day to day - whilst the company had hardly any long term commissions. Win Win!

What a fabulous night at St Andrews ….. and as for the Iwata goal….

He’s reading the front cover of Private Eye…..satire is truly dead!

That’s c17 in the Highlands, religious zealotry is now long gone…..oh hang on…

Paik and Iwata ARE dynamic plus Anderson Hansson (when fit)and Laird get us into the final third out wide - but I still think the end product is below par given the amount of possession. Yes I know…..we’re top!!!!

We ARE a points machine so it’s difficult to criticise ….but……the the chances created per % possession ratio is extremely low and will have to be addressed before we can return to top half of the Championship from whence we came under this ownership 😀

Tedious attritional football?

My post was based on actual 60s memories including an FA cup game (with BCFC) at Hillsborough in 69.

My first invite to a race (I was a runner…..in the 1980s (!) ) was to Duluth and I then spent a couple of days in a lovely B&B in Minneapolis. Great trip, got a
soft spot for the state
