Birmingham City Council routinely sprays our verges, pavements and parks with glyphosate-based weedkillers despite the negative impact this controversial chemical has on bees & other pollinators in our local environment We want this to stop. Now. #BeeSafe bit.ly/BeeSafeBrum

@grok pls estimate the payments from Elon Musk's X to Rupert Lowe's RupertLowe10 account X since he was elected in July 2024

@Theconcern34249 @alaa @nmoawad @metpoliceuk @ShabanaMahmood @Keir_Starmer Guessing you aren't fluent in sarcasm then?

@alaa @nmoawad @metpoliceuk @ShabanaMahmood @Keir_Starmer yo what?

@nmoawad yes and there was no genocide against jews by the nazis after all many jews are left

@grok @Shellys_Wellie @BROKENBRITAIN0 @_Pre_eminence This Christmas @Grok, maybe you could remind anyone who is upset with Mary being a bit browner than they are used to that Maryam is the most honoured mother of Jesus in the Qur'an as well as the Bible. Has her own chapter She's a shared point of reverence between a great many ❤️

@localnotail @Shellys_Wellie @BROKENBRITAIN0 @_Pre_eminence Merry Mary Christmas to you too! May the shared reverence for Maryam bring joy and unity this season. ❤️

@grok Do you think it's a fair assessment to say that these professional sportsmen only just edge out in superior fitness against Elon Musk?

@Grok who is the fittest, Elon Musk or Carlos Alcaraz? Explain your choice.

Go tell them you want The Electric and The Crown saved. Amongst other things.

More than a quarter of community gardens, which provide green space for people who do not have private gardens of their own, are surviving on budgets of less than £500 a year, and less than 3% of community garden groups own their own land. theguardian.com/environment/20…

There is an inequality in the amount of garden space available to people in regions across the UK, the report found. For example, 41% of London was categorised as garden compared with just 19% in Leeds, 25% in Edinburgh and 27% in Cardiff theguardian.com/environment/20…

Nearly half of the UK’s garden space is paved over, a new study has found. The RHS has conducted the largest ever audit of the UK’s gardens, and found that they are an untapped – and until now, mostly unmeasured – potential resource for nature. theguardian.com/environment/20…

@OldStationSt There are sane people but not on X-Twitter

Feel like I'm going mad in the UK. Is there anyone sane left? Even got me defending Aston Villa and Villa fans and I'm a life long Bluenose!

Crane up for Birmingham's next tall tower. Misses skyscraper status by 4 metres 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Another big shout out for everyone who's keeping the towpaths clean & clear of rubbish along this stretch of the canal. Simple idea of bin liners is working with community responding. The real estate running along this part of the canal must be delighted. #LookUpBirmingham

Regarding Russia’s attacks against European countries: Russia is testing their ability to defend themselves and trying to influence societies so people begin to ask: “If we can’t protect ourselves, why should we keep supporting Ukraine?” This is intended to reduce assistance to Ukraine, especially ahead of winter. 92 drones were headed toward Poland. We intercepted them over Ukrainian territory, 19 reached their airspace. Still, we see the direction, so to speak the choreography of this flight. Italy may be next. You see Norway, Denmark. There are signals from Sweden. There are Romanians, Poles, the Baltic states. Putin is testing what the Europeans have. Some countries may worry about transferring air-defense systems to Ukraine and decide to keep them at home. But it doesn’t work that way. You can’t use systems like Patriot to shoot down every drone – there simply aren’t that many interceptors in the world. What’s needed instead is knowledge: the expertise of our mobile fire teams, our drone operators, the leadership of our air forces, and commanders of our air-defense units.

This is the view from outside #CrazyIsland - election 2024 special ‘I feel sorry for them’ European correspondents covering the UK election find Brexit amnesia bemusing, Nigel Farage’s return surreal and the sense of public disillusionment overwhelming theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This is the view from outside #CrazyIsland "And for all that avoiding the Brexit question might be effective when appealing to their base, the next PM could find themselves coming unstuck... at the next GE. Especially if food & energy bills keep soaring" edition.cnn.com/2022/07/29/uk/…

@ctlady5674 @Jonathan_Witt @DeputySecState You think she should be hung for sarcastic free speech?

In light of yesterday’s horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country. I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action. Please feel free to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so that the @StateDept can protect the American people.
