The most Dike thing that ever happened #wba
We have had our three millionth like on BirminghamLive TikTok - get over there and follow us www.tiktok.com/@birmingham....
And a quick word on the "None of us are against 20mph around schools..." line. As somebody said recently: People don't live at school. If we only protect streets near schools, how are kids supposed to reach those streets?
He could be back behind the wheel in three years. I have no idea what has to happen for someone to be banned from driving www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...
We could write stories like this all the time. There has been a rising wall of silence around seismic local issues such as the Perry Barr mega cost and the bins you’re paying for which aren’t being collected. Please read - shows what we are up against www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...
'Loads more space in there'
Everyone in America needs to hope karma isn't a real thing
Latest Brummie Muslims newsletter has gone out - great read as ever. You can subscribe here www.birminghammail.co.uk/newsletter-p...
In a country that perpetually lets young people down - children are much the poorest age group - Birmingham lets them down more than most. The city needs to be a voice for young people, who are totally voiceless and also not to blame for the mess they are paying for.
With a week to go until the all-out bins strike, it is a massive day at the council. Follow it live here
I wish Berahino only the best now but it is hard not to look at this and see a lesson not to get in your own way www.thesun.co.uk/sport/336294... #wba
Always the men. Always.
Well said sir! Migrants, refugees and asylum seekers are human beings. There should be no pecking order when it comes to the treatment of people.
My favourite kind of journalism is informative and caring. I give you this from @bozzers.bsky.social www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/mus...
Our Black Sabbath gig coverage, headed up by @bozzers.bsky.social is an advert for regional journalism. It shows the merit of having someone who cares writing about something. And people have noticed - we've had more than a million people read the stories www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/wha...
The lack of progress on LGBT issues across the course of my life is almost as shocking as it is depressing. Football fans are an extreme, but we’re miles away and stood still.
Live updates from pivotal Birmingham City Council budget meeting here as bins, social care, and child services face axe
Birmingham City Council has this week shed some light on how it plans to make a huge £150 million in savings
Here's just a handful of the ways that the authority's proposals could affect you
The way "alright bab" gets used as a marketing term for people in Birmingham might be what cultural appropriation feels like. Certainly, it grinds my gears - people basically say it to try and appear like other people who never say it.
This is a useful article to give a broad sense of where we are at as Birmingham taxpayers. It’s written sensibly - but the subject matter is extreme. You’re paying a lot more and a growing number who really need help are being turned away. www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...
You get used to it!
Took a break from #wba doomscrolling to google Victor Anichebe (yeah, because of Lukaku) and learned he scored 29 goals in his entire professional career. That was a rough few hours

This is leading our site this morning. We don't talk enough about child poverty - deprivation in urban areas like Birmingham is a crisis. Children are the poorest constituents and the ones worst impacted by the perpetual economic decline. www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...
Amid a catalogue of avoidable disasters at the council, this is right up there. ‘Birmingham faces £47k-a-day bill for 40 years for Perry Barr Games Village 'shocking' losses.’ Strongly advise download the BL app for best UX www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...
A whole new kind of nauseating substitution #wba
Many of the old people cheering Trump for pulling out of the Paris Accord don't look like they'll live too long - they might never have to pay for that decision.
They just shortened their kids lives though, and drastically impacted their grandchildren.
Pretty much everyone in the newsroom who's been involved in this story has been reduced to tears - the world can be such an unfair place www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...
Another year, another financial catastophe. I've had over 24 hours so this isn't a hot take any more. How completely depressing. We called for the Commonwealth Games to come to Birmingham - feel stupid for aspiring now. www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...
