This just means people will put their kids on the boat with them. It'll put kids at risk. And for what?

Spoke to Channel 5 news and Sky about the illegal landfill just outside Kidlington. The cost of cleanup will be enormous and the waste is already visibly slipping into the Cherwell. We need government funding now for a clean up before this becomes an environmental catastrophe.

In a lighter note, this article has some extremely entertaining delusion in it. My favourite was this bit, where they've misspelled 'soundly rejected' as 'edged out' conservativehome.com/2025/11/17/t...

This is revolting. Theft is a crime. Seeking asylum isn't.

So to summarise: Labour's most likely replacement for a Prime Minister with no clear vision whose government's is actively working against itself is a Health Secretary with no clear vision whose initiatives often work against one another. Great. Brilliant. No way this will end badly.

"It's disgraceful that Nigel Farage is egging Donald Trump on as he attacks our institutions, our media, and the pockets of millions.” @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk

Damning

The biggest thing tearing the country apart is Labour + Reform's politics of division

This is a shocking crime that needs quick action if we are to avert an environmental catastrophe. I'll be working with @calummillerld.bsky.social to make sure everything possible is done to clean up the area and protect the Cherwell.

My umbrella blew inside out while canvassing. Luckily I had one of the kids ones in the boot. The cold never bothered me anyway...

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Well said, Ed. Meanwhile, the silence from Keir Starmer is deafening.

Pathetic and unpatriotic. You're supposed to be His Majesty's Loyal Opposition. Try acting like it?

This is one of the biggest frustrations I get from residents so this is great news!

I made pumpkin cookies and is it just me or does this one look like a cyberman?

Last chance to vote for me for FPC! Voting closes tomorrow (Tuesday) at 2pm!

I mean me too but it doesn't seem enormously likely, does it, so maybe we should talk about a plan B?

This is why OFWAT needs to be scrapped. They don’t even understand that the ONLY real source of income for water companies is bill payers

Maybe the government should MAKE THAMES WATER FIX THE PIPES then? Or is that too 'drastic'?

This is definitely an issue beyond this guy. My freehold was bought by a different scammy landlord who sent us a bunch of letters threatening massive charges and offering to sell us the freehold at a big markup. In the end we paid him more than it was worth (but less than he asked for) to go away.

Genuine question: how often are people released from prison by accident? Is it rare and it just so happens that it's happened twice recently and they were both foreign nationals, or is it common and just being reported now, in which case I'm not sure the man's nationality is the key point?

After traumatic births with my first two children, I've read all the various maternity safety reports cover to cover, some multiple times, and I didn't think I could be shocked anymore at maternity care in this country, but this is horrifying. Trigger warning: everything you would expect.

Cheers to that 🥂 🍻

Reminder - please do cast your vote for me in the internal elections, or let me know if you have questions!

A horrific mass murder is unfolding in Sudan, where no one can see it. The RSF are murdering civilians in El Fasher, having finally defeated the Sudanese army forces holding out in the city. The BBC has managed to speak to some who escaped www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7fC...

Really touched to be on this list as an ally 🙏🏻 (and for avoidance of any doubt, I'm furious about the quota changes)

Green Belt Parish Councils have backed a single Oxfordshire authority. More than half of the 48 parish councils within the Oxford Green Belt examined the three models currently under discussion for the future of local government in the county, at a meeting in Wheatley this week.

Literally one of the greatest soft power brands on planet earth driven into the ground by successive British governments that embrace failure, decline and irrelevance. on.ft.com/3Wq1XIT

The resources that used to be in place to respond to disasters like this at the scale needed have been gutted by Elon Musk's destruction of USAID and by Sunak's and Starmer's cuts to UK ODA. It's devastating, and it didn't need to be this way.

Labour seems to be working hand in glove with Oxford City Council to force a “Greater Oxford” on residents. People want one fair, county-wide unitary, not to be swallowed by the city. Local government reform should be with communities, not done to them. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

The Oxford temporary congestion charge goes live tomorrow. You can pay online here 👇🏻 or why not beat the charge by getting the free park and ride bus 🚌 instead?

A round of leaflets a day keeps the doctor away 🗞️

Obviously it's racist, what's wrong with you?!

Voting opens tomorrow in the Liberal Democrat internal elections - please give me your first preference for Federal Policy Committee!

Labour moment

Genius plan. No notes.

Up in Thrupp today to help 🪏 with their Ditching Day - always good to get my hands dirty and the residents showed me some of their blocked gullies which will give me something to chase up on Monday 😀

The man who sells Turkish Delight and Baklava at the Kidlington market was away for two weeks and I was VERY WORRIED about my supply chain but HE'S BACK

Apart from the misunderstanding of 'none of the above' voters, this is a bit BBC remember Lib Dems exist challenge (impossible)

And the scores on the doors in last night's 5 local elections which have counted - 3- - LD gains ( 1 each from Cons, Lab and Independent) 1 - LD hold 1 - Con hold Another excellent week for the @libdems.org.uk

I think another key lesson is that at least in by elections, voters will look beyond the last result to work out who is best placed to be the tactical choice - as they did last parliament to deliver LD wins in North Shrops and Tiverton and Honiton. Creates an opening for LDs (and probably Greens)

🚌 More great news on the buses! The 2 and 2a serving Kidlington and Oxford Parkway Park and Ride will increase from every 25 mins to every 15 mins (so from the P&R there will be a bus every 7-8 minutes) ⏰ This is especially great news for people like me who regularly miss the bus by a minute 🤦🏻‍♀️

I was hoping not to get involved in the Sheffield Hallam selection but since I am in two candidates' manifestos I feel that I should make clear that: - Eleanor Kelly asked permission and I was happy to give it - Sophie Crossthorn did not ask permission and I would not have given it if asked

The hard part was finding the car docs 😅

🚨🚨🚨 IMPORTANT LOCAL NEWS 🚒🚒🚒

I was devastated to hear about the death of a girl from Islip and the ongoing homicide investigation. I will be keeping the family and all those affected in my thoughts and have been in touch with the Parish Council to offer any support needed to the community and those affected.

I thought this was the worst the Conservatives would get, but it turns out I was wrong: Katie Lam wants to deport my granny, the leader of the Opposition thinks that's fine, and the government hasn't said a word either.
