Looks like interesting pavements too!

Wonderful news. A courageous woman utterly committed to democracy and to the people of Venezuela

Many happy returns Bob! (and not for Vladimir Putin who is only 73 today)

Reality dawns in Kent...

Yes! I think it looks more like a furry seal poking his head out of water.

Is that a diminutive lion peeking in from the side?

statistic of the day

Absolutely 👏👍 "Any co-opting or corrupting of the Christian faith to exclude others is unacceptable" It threatens the very soul of Christianity.

Yesterday saw the 144 uplifting Icons for Hope and Faith at Westminster Abbey. A powerful expression of the core Christian message of love and sacrifice for others. Here Julian of Norwich by Juliet Venter and St Francis by Otto Pang.

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign? Cancel UK government contracts with Musk-linked companies

Yes, this is certainly a positive development. Agree Government must hold firm against all attempts to water down.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin?

TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

Wonderful news! The first Thomas Denny window in Oxford

Still absolutely nothing to say about far right thugs rioting and attacking the police while a US tech billionaire calls for a violent insurrection on our streets

The Brexit effect! On R4 Today, Peter Walsh from @migobs.bsky.social explained exactly why there is increasing evidence of a Brexit effect in the number of migrant boats crossing the Channel. UK has no access to EU data on failed asylum seekers or ability to return

Good for @nomiaiqbal.bsky.social who properly challenged Nigel Farage. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 More please from UK-based BBC journalists. The price of access cannot be timidity. Political accountability is part of free speech. The man who sold too many in Britain #Brexit clearly withers when rigorously questioned.

An open letter to Nigel Farage - Bishop Steven's Blog Bishop Steven writes an open letter in response to Nigel Farage MP's immigration policy which was launched in Oxford this week.

A courteous but very impressive rebuke to Nigel Farage from the Bishop of Oxford.

"I heard no compassion in what you said...".

"I disagree profoundly with your attempts to ... increase fear of the stranger in our communities".

Do read.

We have an excellent line-up for our Ecotheology Research Seminar next academic term. For graduates and researchers from any disciplinary background at the University of Oxford. Let me know if you might be interested to attend.

This does look interesting and on @bbcsounds.bsky.social

Highly recommend this very clear and interesting analysis of Putin's regime in its historical context

Very good to see this coverage

Very interesting, looks like the crisis in the #socialcare workforce is now so great that awareness is dawning in unlikely places.

Oxford residents are well aware of the issues with Thames Water, which is why this Labour Government has banned the payment of unfair bonuses to Thames Water's senior bosses to force them to improve.

A message from Labour’s Environment Secretary Steve Reed👇🏼

Thought provoking

As we already knew - just kicking into the long grass. No mention of the role of social work….
