Getting to new rail stations in south Birmingham From Tuesday 7th April, passengers will be able to catch trains from new stations on the reopened Camp Hill Line between Birmingham New Street and Kings Norton. The three new stations at Moseley Village, Kings Heath and Pineapple Road are aimed at local residents, so there are no car parking facilities available, though there will be drop-off spaces and cycle storage available - the intention being that local people will mainly walk or cycle to these stations in order to take advantage of quicker journey times by train into the city centre.

That's not their fault or Rugby's train station's fault. Someone didn't care about them at Birmingham New Street.

Just went to my favourite batshit bar in Birmingham, the Bacchus Bar. It's got Greek statues, it's got a mock medieval tomb, it's got an Ancient Egyptian room. I'm so happy it's still there and still just as batshit as I remembered

So true. All those tall buildings make Birmingham a very windy city centre.

You are on the right side of history.

I worked half my life within the equestrian sport sector in the UK. And I found it so hard to keep silent on this particular topic.

It is cruel. They don't need to make a day of it, this means they enjoy it. They can absolutely stop raising dogs as hounds.

Map of Birmingham showing the Council wards shaded in different colours to predict who will be elected in the May local elections

Some interesting new polling from Birmingham that puts the Greens on 22 seats, making us the opposition!

With 8 weeks to go until polling day we know the Labour vote is collapsing across the city.

💚 Now we have to get out on the doorstep and talk to as many voters as possible!

Fraser Nelson says you can't blame the Labour government for the Conservative government underfunding our military and defence since 2010

Surely same can be said of not blaming immigrants and asylum seekers for the Conservatives underfunding public services since 2010, too?

Peter Mandelson represents a rotten political culture, where proximity to wealth and power are the end goal. This has to change.

Why are we politely asking the tech firms to police their sites?

They’ve made trillions. They need to be theatened with crippling fines and bans.

We all know what this is really about: Who owns the world? The billionaires or the people.

Governments are giving every sign it’s the billionaires.

A beautiful evening walk. Just a few miles outside of #Birmingham city centre and tonight it’s so tranquil with just the sound of the birds settling in. Worth protecting ? A jewel yet still threatened by inappropriate development.
