I find the views expressed by Cllr Feeney totally abhorrent. I am calling for him to resign from the Council as I do not believe he represents the values of our city. Roger Harmer, Leader of Birmingham City Council

The Archers is part of Birmingham's story. For generations it's been made here, creating jobs & nurturing talent as part of the fabric of our city. I'm writing to the BBC to make the strongest possible case for it to stay in Birmingham, where it belongs. #KeepTheArchersInBrum

I have written to the government following the announcement of 4,000 potential job losses at JLR Our automotive industry is strategically important to the UK; we need targeted support for JLR, and the wider automotive supply chain, to protect jobs and preserve critical skills.
