Council and unions set to settle equal pay crisis 'for up to Β£300 million' Speculation is rife that Birmingham City Council has agreed to settle discrimination claims

Time for an immediate moratorium on the cuts.

β€œThe final payment is expected to come 'nowhere near' the amounts predicted when the council dramatically announced it was in dire financial straits last year.”

Had a brilliant evening with friends reflecting on how important #libraries are to all of us. I read poems written by Liz Berry and @lukekennard.bsky.social celebrating how much we love our community libraries from the amazing Brumzine: www.bbc.com/news/article... @brumloveslibraries.bsky.social
