“…the world does not revolve around car drivers…” Another ridiculous thing about living in Birmingham is that you can only book a slot at one of the recycling centres if you have a car. This excludes nearly a third of the city. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Early bus into town for #RSD2025. Went to Swordfish Records. As the heir to Rockers where I misused my early 80s Saturdays in search of Nick Rhodes, it seemed the best place to source Duran’s RSD release. A zoetrope! Need to set up my record player so I can spin it tho 🤦‍♀️

Once upon a time, Friday evenings were a dash home from work to catch 2-4-1 happy hour at the Clockhouse in Clapham, back into town to get Popstarz Q Jump tickets at the Retro followed by Popstarz itself 🏳️‍🌈 Now I’m just in the kitchen watching a TOTP from 1997 instead 😬

This driver, who sped almost three times the 30mph speed limit, who stopped briefly but drove off despite leaving a pedestrian with a catalogue of serious injuries resulting in them being comatose, should never be allowed behind the wheel again. 🔗 www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...

300 albums down. In our group there is remarkable consistency apart from some debate over hip hop. (I’m overjoyed that today’s album is Three Feet High and Rising taking me right back to seeing De La Soul in Manchester in 1989 😎) #1001AlbumsGenerator 1001albumsgenerator.com/shares/657b7...

Moving around on this city’s pavements is so frustrating. Why do I have to go down a steep muddy slope through a flower bed or make a big detour to get to the zebra crossing? What about people using mobility aids or pushing buggies? 🤦‍♀️

No one plans a stroke. It comes with enormous physical, emotional, and financial costs. Already, stroke survivors* struggle to access benefits like #PIP - and these cuts will leave more & more families affected by stroke & disability, with less & less. We must do better. *Cardiovascular disease 👇

V sad news that Eddie Jordan has died. He was a CLIC Sargent (now Young Lives vs Cancer) patron when I was Fundraising Director. He chaired the capital appeal for Paul’s House, accommodation for families whose children are being treated at UCLH & GOSH. www.younglivesvscancer.org.uk/what-we-do/a...

Pleased to support this campaign. “No Ball Games” signs should be removed. Children and young people should be encouraged to play outside safely and more space should be dedicated to games. youtu.be/ExxdGUny4EM?...

Absolutely agree. Enforcement is important but not the only part of the solution. Thinking better and differently about road use and design is vital.

🧵 1/ Wes Streeting suggests there's an overdiagnosis problem in mental health. A big & increasingly common claim. But in a country where people are waiting years for treatment, services overwhelmed, and 600,000 individuals with serious mental illnesses still being left behind, can it be true?

Been dusting off old newsletters ie updating links to X with screenshots or alternative sources. I'm far too tired to be writing yet another #IWD post so here's one I prepared earlier. As I wrote then, "in no field are women equal". Four years later, worse. www.changeout.org/every-day-is...
