A poor substitute for a @lindasgoluppiart task.

Today, in 1 minute:

Name 8 #counties in the #UnitedKingdom that do not have the letter 'r' in their names.

Names must be the common Anglo-Saxon-derived ones. Latin and French names like Salop and Oxonia are not allowed.

#Solihull, as its inmates will attest, is a metropolitan borough, not a county.

Hints:

There are places in the U.K. that are not in England. But 'Forfarshire' definitely has 'r's in it.

A peaceful rural path stretches through the Solihull countryside, lined with young trees and surrounded by open green fields under a sky of scattered clouds. The trail, part of a classic #CountrysideWalk, invites quiet exploration along its gently winding route, perfect for a #NatureTrail in spring. Fresh foliage and the mix of bare and budding branches create a serene #SpringLandscape that feels untouched and calm. Ideal for a leisurely stroll or photography, this #RuralPath offers a timeless #ScenicView of the English countryside.

A dirt path stretches into the distance, bordered by grassy fields and lined with a mix of young and mature trees, some bare and others beginning to sprout leaves. Wooden supports and protective wire mesh surround several of the younger trees, while a large, weathered tree stump sits to the left near dense green shrubs. The sky above is partly cloudy with patches of blue peeking through, casting soft natural light over the rural scene. The path is slightly uneven with grassy edges, leading the eye toward the horizon where more trees and open countryside extend into the distance.

We need to know the truth about Solihull Council's finances.

The Conservatives needed a £48 million lifeline to keep the council afloat. Now, they are having to pay back nearly £4 million a year of your money, while council tax goes up by 5% and your services are not improving.

The Conservatives say they aren't cutting services, but we've already seen charges for green waste collections, dimming of street lights, selling off public land and paying some council staff to quit early.

The Conservatives are trying to keep the scale of the financial challenges facing the council and what it means for you under wraps. There needs to be transparency about the seriousness of the situation.

We need to know how they plan to turn this ship around.

This financial crisis didn't happen overnight. 14 years of Tory leadership led us to this mess. Do you trust them to get us out of it?

較早前從 Birmingham 爬到號稱「小香港」的 Solihull,第一站就衝到一間完全不像咖啡店的地方吃早餐。

點了一個Satay Beef & Egg Sandwich🥪。沒錯,店主是香港人,最近才開始在賣三文治和咖啡。雖然沙嗲味不算很濃,不過總的來說還是好吃的。

所謂「小香港」,街上未必周圍都能看到香港人面孔,但實情是有不少香港人在這個地方打拼著。 💪

📍 Apple se muda en Solihull (UK): la tienda del centro Touchwood cierra el 24 de julio... pero solo para cruzar el pasillo 🛍️
La nueva ubicación será más del doble de grande, ocupando el antiguo local de Topshop. ¡A lo grande, Apple!

Popped in to Solihull today + a very nice little record shop, Manor House Records. Defo worth going in. Knowledgable, friendly, helpful owner(?) happy to put on records to try, making suggestions. Came away with The Dream Academy's debut 1985 LP + a 2022 album by Weyes Blood (not heard of before).

BBC Politics Midlands, presented by Elizabeth Glinka, featuring Councillor Ade Adeyemo, Leader of the Liberal Democrats on Solihull Council, Paulette Hamilton, MP for Birmingham Erdington and Ben Adams, Staffordshire Police Fire and Crime Commissioner.

When are service reductions not 'cuts' and when is a government bail out 'not a loan'?

Councillor Ade Adeyemo challenges the Conservatives on likely cuts to council services and the £48.273M government EFS bail out, without which #SolihullCouncil could not balance its books.

Solihull was one of 18 councils who applied for emergency government bailout agreements and were given Exceptional Financial Support (EFS) in February to stave off bankruptcy and help meet their legal duty to balance their books in the next two financial years (2025/26 and 2026/27).

Exceptional Financial Support (EFS) enables councils to take out loans to pay for day-to-day services. The government has said councils will not be able to dispose of community and heritage assets to repay the loans.

Liberal Democrats are concerned that EFS could load the struggling council with further debt and costs in the future and undermine future capital programmes.
