Happens all the time - it’s what counts as pub sports there these days

Highest turnout ever in a Senedd by election and in a Caerffili Senedd election. Which if true would prove you right.

Calum Miller MP's first column for the Bicester Advertiser It has been a privilege to serve as your MP over the last sixteen months.

Good to see the Bicester Advertiser keeping up with the times and running their first political column from the party with its MP and council leadership….. over a year late. Never mind, at least they’ve caught up. #paywall

Paywalled, but the premise is utterly wrong and this is one of those issues where Tim’s buried in the past.

(On a morning where in Oxfordshire we’ve confirmed reopening of the Cowley rail branch, which should never have closed in the first place)

And an Oxfordshire connection to the above…..?

Calling @rigg.lgbt

Name Oxfordshire’s new gritters! Spreading smiles - and salt - across Oxfordshire! Last winter, 30 brand-new gritters joined Oxfordshire’s fleet, ready to hit the roads whenever temperatures drop below freezing. These vehicles play a...

It’s gritter naming time!

Popped into Deddington and found the crew doing the annual gully emptying - something we’ve restored after many years without it. They’ll need to come back to those with cars parked over, but they’re doing a great job!

When Labour-leaning people whine that it’s ’terribly unfair’ to describe them as authoritarian, discriminatory or both, just remind them of this.

I think we know the answer to this one.

Most people would think reducing the harm caused by gambling is a good thing. Especially when coupled with measures to curb tax avoidance.

It’s time we talked about Swindon.

None of our public services are shared with that town. It would be costly and wasteful to change this.

It faces West. It is economically totally different.

This silly Labour scheme - no Lib Dem councils support it - should be opposed, and loudly.

This is important. I was on the scrutiny committee that heard the impact on the Eye Hospital. The drive for privatisation is coming direct from central government. There have been cases of patients with chronic eye conditions receiving ‘bog standard’ private treatment which failed; cancellations.

I’m still in the habit of watching it on catch up, but I reckon we could fill several programmes with local footage at the moment

Really glad to see @cllrchrisbrant.bsky.social leading the way in resisting the cynical attempt at asset-stripping a community. The details of this case are particularly appalling and demonstrate why planning protection for pubs must be strengthened.

"The Council of Europe has warned that the UK gov's treatment of trans people may well breach human rights law. This must be a wake up call. We've seen an increase in hostility towards trans in recent years. Everyone deserves dignity, safety, & respect - that includes trans people." - Tom Gordon, MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough

Thank you to @tomgordonld.bsky.social, Lib Dem MP, for speaking up for Trans+ people.

Some of us never went there.

I really don't know what to do about a situation where a plurality of the group that (rightly!) takes up most government spending thinks that it is unrepresented in politics.

Ok. They’ve won. Blow the whistle now: Monday’s the important one #pêl-droed

So he’s asking to legalise theft, basically.

Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children on Gaza’s list of war dead Every name on a list compiled by health authorities in Gaza of the child victims of Israel’s offensive

The Guardian has published a list of all the children killed by Israeli action in Gaza.

Drawer, (actually ‘box’),but yes….

Are you someone who has a 'just in case' draw full of mystery leads and phone chargers? If you're looking to have a clear out and gain some more space join us in taking part in the Great Cable Challenge for #internationewasteday!

BREAKING: Shabana Mahmoud has clarified that British people are allowed to protest as long as they don't protest too often, their protests aren't seen by anyone, and they are completely ineffective. Anything else is un-British and basically terrorism x
