not ideal to drive it, make sure the temp doesnt get to high else it can blow the head gasket.

its going to be bled tomorrow then if that doesnt solve it then waterpump+belt+tensioners change.
I dont get why the thermostat doesnt open though. The housing side is warm pointing that the coolant is hot but the other side of the thermostat is stone cold hence the radiator being cold.
Unless that means there is a air pocket like right next to the thermostat?
