In the UK this would “need” to be parking for cars. But this is the Netherlands so it’s dozens of bikes. But please tell me again how banning cars from city centres destroys shops? I didn’t see a single boarded up shop across the whole city centre.

When even the app is predicting a new record high you know there's something afoot

Ahead of the expected heatwave this weekend, civic leaders across Oxfordshire have urged residents to be safe when wild swimming. Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue have launched a YouTube campaign: “If you fall in, remember to relax, lean back and “float to live” until you can control your breathing.”

We feel the need, after this article, to alert readers to the sighting of these alphonso mangoes at Noor Halal on Magdalen Road yesterday. The owner says kesar mangoes will be in next week. #journalism #springishere

Oxford City Green Councillors attended Annual Council last night 💚 Our wonderful group of 13 are getting to work, representing their wards and striving for people and planet in Oxford 🌍🌱

Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae)...Mother Nature was working with a 'no such thing as too much' philosophy the day she designed this finch...native to a very specific & shrinking corridor across Northern Australia. Though a popular pet bird. #bird #photo #nature #biology #wildlife

If you fancy supporting local producers this weekend, consider heading to a local market - there's one in the county every day of the week. We made this directory of markets in Oxfordshire. oxfordclarion.uk/oxfordshire-...

Today's frog is the western leopard toad.

“I’m an avid cyclist but.....” Exactly the problem. We don’t need infrastructure just for avid cyclists, we need it for those new and/or apprehensive riders who are terrified of riding through their cities

We’ve got a few inquisitive young Grey Seals around the jetty on the Isle of May at the moment, like this little fella. So streamlined and built for the sea :)

For balance, following the Conservative photo earlier, we share this image of Mickey, the feline companion of a Green supporter in Kidlington. He's admiring the reinstatement of a sign that was ripped down, apparently. Our inbox remains open for both campaign and pet photos in this final week....

Reform took a £5m donation and they're trying to distract you. Farage is just another establishment stooge. Like in Gorton & Denton - the only way to stop Reform on Thursday - Vote Green. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I just signed Dame Judi Dench's petition, calling on the urgent restoration of our ancient woodlands. Please sign this important cause and share it: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/br...

Brilliant from @carolinelucas.bsky.social on Farage’s failed Brexit experiment 👏 bylinetimes.com/2026/05/01/n...

More u-turns, prevarication and caving into developers from Labour. The Greens are clear. No more leaseholds. Bring in rent controls. Vote Green on 7th May. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Nigel Farage asked on BBC news this morning if he'd debate with me. Says he's too busy with the local elections & it will just be a "big row." I've been asking him for months. Someone's running scared? Vote Green.

In a popular courtyard in Kyiv. I saw this little figure. The Voices of Children Foundation and the 🇺🇦 band Hyphen Dash launched a charity initiative to draw attention to children affected by the war and raise funds for them. I’ll share a link to read more and support the initiative.

Did you know UK rules let companies get away with slave labour, illegal deforestation and more? A new law could end this - please join me and sign the petition to stop corporate abuses now👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

Something shocking and out of the ordinary is happening in the UK. While in most comparable countries, healthy life expectancy is rising, here it is plunging steeply. Q. So what marks us out? A. 47 years of extreme neoliberalism, culminating in austerity. www.health.org.uk/reports-and-...

Kyiv. A short moment my camera captured today. I absolutely love it. Life.

Met so many hopeful people today in Hackney on a walkabout with their next Mayor, @zoegarbett.bsky.social. People repeatedly telling us how excited they are to vote Green! And just finished an international press conference telling the world about our plans to end Rip Off Britain.

Caroline Lucas explains why more drilling in the North Sea wouldn't bring our energy prices down & it would take years to come on line, but what will bring prices down is more renewables & energy efficiency, its quicker to achieve and it doesn't drive climate change #GMB

My face muscles are still sore from smiling so much. What an incredible day! What an incredible team of people to turn Oxford Green and make hope normal again. Huge thank you to Roger Close for the photos.

Farage is a bin liner of a man. Full of crap.

Haha this is very validating

Car dealership: YOUR CAR IS IN HIGH DEMAND! SELL IT TO US SO WE CAN SELL IT AND ALSO SELL YOU A NEW ONE! Counterpoint: No. My car is fine. There's nothing wrong with my car. I like my car. And I like not having a car payment even more.

Morning! xx

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Oxford city listen up - you have a Green candidate in every ward and they’re all an excellent choice 💚

Badly parked cars impacting bus services 👎👎👎

Things are bad and I can’t make them better so I’m just gonna keep posting nature. Take good care of yourselves. Here’s a Robin having a floof #birds 🌿

Kate is an amazing local councillor who quietly and consistently works hard for the local community, without shouting about it. So let me do some of that for her: KATE IS AMAZING!! She is kind, empathetic and pragmatic. The good people of Marston won't regret re-electing her on May 7.

The Dream (Green) Team for Oxford!!! 🤩💚

Witness the elegance of the swimming Feather Star, a crinoid that dates back to the Ordovician era, over 480 million years ago. A true marvel of evolution in our oceans.

In Belgium, employees receive compensation for every kilometre they ride, with some cyclists earning up to €810 per year. And why not? Biking saves public money for everyone. “All employees in Belgium who cycle to work are entitled to a bicycle allowance of €0.28 per kilometre of their commute.”
