… more investment in high quality public transport like this will be an essential part of the improvements we need if we are serious about making our city a healthier, safer, happier place to live.

The Camp Hill line is a great new service. Moseley Station is well designed with a large pedestrianised public space. I jumped on the train in Moseley this morning and was in Kings Norton 8 minutes later! Birmingham is choked by cars and >>>

How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets Under outgoing mayor Anne Hidalgo, the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

Consider the infrastructure v enforcement debate settled.

Car culture is a problem of public space. There is no policing your way to results as impressive as this.

Based on a Daily Mail/Tory hit piece ("policies seen by the Daily Mail"). It will be interesting to hear how the GP respond (other than by re-stating actual existing policy which can be found on their website). This policy framing would make them unelectable - maybe the point of the orignal piece.

Finally, some good news.

Activists at an anti-racist meeting stand behind a banner that reads BIRMINGHAM TOGETHER HOPE SOLIDARITY LOVE

On Sat 28 March in London, Birmingham will be making its voice heard.

Right wing politicians & commentators love to use our city as a symbol of everything that they hate about this country.

Our message will be clear: BIRMINGHAM IS NOT BROKEN. BIRMINGHAM IS UNITED!

I hate indifference. Living means taking sides... Indifference is the dead weight of history. It is a lead weight for those with new ideas, a ballast within which the most beautiful enthusiasms can drown, a swamp which defends the old order far better than any warriors or strong defences, because it sucks into its entrails the best activists, often stopping them from making history. Indifference is a powerful force in history. It works passively but it works nevertheless ... Generally events take place not because lots of people desire them, but because many people don't commit themselves, they let things happen... The apparent random nature of history is nothing but an illusion created by indifference, by absenteeism... I take sides. I live. In the active consciousness of my side I already feel the future society being built. In this human chain nobody carries a heavy weight, everything which happens is not the result of luck or fate, but is the result of our conscious work. Nobody looks on at a minority making sacrifices... I am alive, therefore I take sides. That's why I hate those who don't take sides, those who are indifferent. Antonio Gramsci, 1917

I am alive, therefore I take sides.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

"Fortunate Son" by CCR was written by John Fogerty in about 20 minutes, fueled by rage over the unfairness of the Vietnam War draft. The song critiques how wealthy, well-connected families used their influence to protect their sons from combat, while working-class young men were sent to fight

Spotlight on John Hilary YouTube video by Labour Heartlands

Mandelson became EU Commissioner for Trade after he was forced to quit front line politics in the UK. In this role he was a leading figure in overseeing the demise of the 'Social Europe' model & it’s replacement with the idea of a ‘Global Europe’. Arguably paving the way for Farage & co. More here:
