Would you say Malik's style is more "intimidating, insulting, undermining and denigrating" then?

The council of unclarity is now seeking to become the council of Greater unclarity.

If you wish to know how much privilege, please use your preferred search engine to look-up Jeremy Mogford, owner of the 'Oxford Collection' of restaurants and hotels, and I would guess the major funder of the group.

TBF, they didn't need to put the print paper to shame.
The print paper managed to do that all by themselves.

I wonder if the Clarion could give us a guide to the 'more traffic' campaigners in Oxford? I get muddled between who is the domestic abuser, the misogynist bully, the thief chucked out of the police, the anti-vaxxer and the alleged murderer.

Henwood or his party present no evidence as to how the process may have been flawed...
Maybe they can tell the Clarion.

A Facebook post by the IOA claiming that Henwood is innocent and the Independent standards hearing was flawed. No evidence is presented of this.

In a classic bully move, instead of apologising, the Independent Oxford Alliance leader David Henwood has denied the bullying, harassment and misinformation he has been found guilty of, and blamed the independent Standards process of Oxford City Council.

Glad to see @davidhenwood.bsky.social called to account for his bullying and lies aimed at a woman opponent.
Will he resign his position?
Will Liam Walker keep him in his alliance and shadow cabinet? (Walker would be rightly pilloried for supporting a bully, misogynist and liar)

So you are telling me the the auto industry has conspired with US Government to give you a bad transport system.
most journeys are within 5 miles and on roads, "but I need a giant tank".
Now look at the death toll. 40k+ a year. It's ludicrous.

Totally this. Car makers found they could stick plastic on the side, raise suspension a few inches, and charge Β£4000 more.
All on a monthly lease so punters don't notice that Β£100/mo is Β£3600 over 3 years for something they never own.

That does not look like the tractor of an impoverished farmer.
But I can't tell how new it is because the number plate is illegally obscured.

Yes, 100 a year for Oxford residents. So they could go their free to shop twice a week.
25 for County residents is a bit more sensible

He's not in my constituency, but @calummillerld.bsky.social is spot on with this letter to the Farage.

The main beneficiary from this division is Russia.
I am convinced that this is why there are tell-tales of them funding right-wing parties and media, and amplifying right-wing social media.
This helps their campaign against Ukraine. It helps them delay action on climate change.

People raising our national flag, but doing it in the cause of hate of other people, are quite disgusting.
I want to be proud of our flag, to support it at national and sporting occasions. Not to be embarrassed by it.

The Labour motion will be an amusing political wiggling act as Labour promised to implement the recommendations of the Citizens Assembly, which include a Congestion Charge.

Prediction: Tomorrow the Oxford Mail will print a story about how Oxford will become a ghost town if the congestion charge goes ahead. And how some Councillors deciding it live out of Oxford.
With quotes from Jeremy Mogford (of Little Milton) and the IOA (Chair lives in Tackley).
