Free park and ride bus travel with temporary congestion charge Oxfordshire County Council is providing free park and ride bus journeys in Oxford for an initial period of three months from 29 October, when the city’s temporary congestion charge scheme starts. The ...

Fantastic news that bus travel from park and rides will be free for three months using funds from the congestion charge. Please do take advantage of the offer if you're travelling into Oxford from 29th October!

Plus it's not like she'd be eligible for anything in France, a country she left more than seventy years ago and where she's barely paid a dime in tax ever since

You also just shouldn't be able to shift the goalposts like that. She moved to this country, built a life, stayed a lifetime, all things she was allowed and indeed encouraged to do. To even think about pulling the ladder from under her after all that time, all that tax paid, is unconscionable

She has in fact been in this country for longer than Mel Stride has. Perhaps we should take away his right to benefits instead?

Tories say people denied benefits in UK can return to home countries Mel Stride outlines plans to slash £47bn a year from public spending, including £23bn welfare cut

My grandmother is 95 and in a care home. She moved to this country more than 70 years ago and spent her entire career as a secondary school teacher in Manchester. Is it really the position of the Conservative party that if she needed help she shouldn't get it and she should move back to France?

Pretty much

Starmer to end asylum ‘golden ticket’ of resettlement and family reunion rights People granted asylum will have to earn right to invite family in plan charities say is ‘straight from populist playbook’

There are many words you could use to describe the UK asylum system but 'golden ticket' is not one of them

We can see the effects of climate change every day. Hotter summers, warmer winters, rain that's quick and hard not drawn-out drizzle. We need to act to mitigate and adapt, and voters know it. Disappointing that the Tories are abandoning science and reason and following Farage into conspiracyland.

Sadly not available in my size 😂

Gorgeous day for doorknocking in Merton 😊

Fascinating. Is the Liberal Democrat candidate by any chance a hard working local champion who will deliver for the area?

Somehow the Place Scrutiny Committee with a two month old seems less impressive now 🤣

«J'ai voulu voir ce que ça faisait d'être parachuté» : un candidat LR fait le grand saut pour moquer le «parachutage» d’une opposante RN VIDÉO - Ladislas Vergne a été investi par Les Républicains pour mener la campagne des prochaines législatives anticipées dans la première circonscription d’Eure-et-Loir.

This guy

Did you see the French guy who illustrated his point about the opponent being a parachuted candidate by doing a parachute jump video?

Very adult, completely normal discourse from a government minister.

Also, this vision that the government apparently has, is it in the room with us now?

No to Digital ID Cards! Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID. That’s not the kind of country we want to be. Back our petition to say no to digital ID cards.

🚫 Labour is pushing ahead with mandatory Digital ID cards.

⚠️ They’d be expensive, ineffective and risk criminalising people who don’t have one.

Watching the rugby final with my kids who absolutely did not get why it was such a big deal for me that I insisted on interrupting CBBC, because for their entire lives there has been women's sport on TV, and honestly that's wonderful.

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

I am a liberal, and I am against this sort of thing

Why I will rebel against Keir Starmer’s digital ID card – and so should you The UK is not a ‘papers, please’ society and we must resist any attempts to change that

Writing in the Scotsman this evening on Keir Starmer’s newly confirmed mandatory digital ID card scheme - and why I do not intend to go along with it.

Northern Powerhouse Rail plans delayed again The BBC understands the prime minister will now not announce plans for a rail link between Manchester and Liverpool at the Labour Party conference.

So there's money for a second runway at Gatwick (high emissions) but not for better trains (low emissions). In a climate emergency. Make it make sense!

I'm not. Have a nice day.

I'd missed that Chris had won the Patsy Calton award - massively deserved! Congratulations Chris!

On the one hand we have the entire body of scientific research, on the other we have Nigel Farage, RFK Jr and Donald Trump. Who is right? No way to know!
