Seen this a few times and he's absolutely right. Language a bit colourful but completely nails it. but Every time I see, hear & smell an ICE car now I wince at how cumbersome and old hat the technology is. Like comparing the bullet train to a steam engine. Driving a BEV is a hugely better experience

At a local meeting in Bicester about the proposal to house 1250 asylum seekers on an MOD site nearby. Local Reform leader trying to turn it into a campaign speech. Didn't go down well.

A teensy bit sweary but I think with good reason. The world needs to wake up and smell the bullsh*t youtu.be/mBW9QCVDSjY?...

Thanks to OCC highways officer Artur for spending a couple of hours with me and @fionamawson.bsky.social checking out major road defects in Kidlington yesterday. Lots of problems logged especially the mystery water leak hear the bus stop on the Oxford Road

This should be ILLEGAL! no arguments. What the hell is going on? Name and shame this place!

The simple question was either he applied and didn't get the candidacy or he's never applied, it has to be one or the other. As to his claim to be the Shadow Home Secretary that further raises the question as to why he's never been nominated as a candidate in any election youtu.be/nCoaC0cxbM4?...

Found a new use for some Green Party signboards. Apt that they're protecting my tomato plants from the impacts of the current climate change induced heatwave. #reuse #recycle

So these are the people roamng our streets supposedly defending us from the scourge of immigration and non-white criminals

Just so you know. You're welcome.

Of course Reform's position on climate change wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the private company masquerading as a political party, owned and operated by Tice and Farage, is substantially funded by fossil fuel investors like Christopher Harborne would it?

Farage and his cronies have absolutely no shame. After missing numerous votes in Parliament he pops up to grandstand and preen over the tragic circumstances of this case to score political points. I'm no fan of Starmer right now but he absolutely nailed it in his response. youtu.be/9NcdAzhIxnA?...

I stand with trans and non binary people. This is a difficult and scary time - and the Govenrment must reject the framework. It's vital that everyone is treated with dignity and care and far too often trans and non binary people aren't. Solidarity always 🏳️‍⚧️

If you're in Bath and fancy a lovely plant-based scoff this is a hidden gem. Plant.Eat.Licious is a really friendly independent café. You might need Google Maps to find it but definitely worth seeking out!

Let's get this vile, barbaric, elitist hobby banned for good. They had a chance to continue in a humane & sustainable way but instead they took the p*ss. Now its time to ban it outright for good. These sick animal abusers don't represent the vast majority of us & we need to let government know that!

This needs to be heard right now.....

So here's the new reality. Somehow this makes sense to the EHRC. Absolute madness.

Reform UK is not a political party. It's a lobbyist group for vested interests, most notably the fossil fuel industry who provide two thirds of their funding! They're claiming patriotism whilst selling this country and it's future to offshore billionaires www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/r...

Busy afternoon for the Hutchcombe Copse working party looking after the wildlife sanctuary. Good to get the chainsaw out again. I've been out of practice.

Israel will sing at Eurovision's final while Palestinians continue to die. This festival should stand for unity, not cover up war crimes. Artists are speaking out. Now it’s our turn. Add your name: Israel out of Eurovision! action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-05...

Amidst the furore over Zack Polanski making the same mistake as other boat dwellers over council tax (that he is now correcting) here's a story about Nigel Farage and a private helicopter that none of the media seem interested in. Sorry it's on X but I can't find it elsewhere x.com/i/status/205...

Reform is gonna be great for.....

Exactly this.

Lovely to catch up with local activists this afternoon to celebrate Green victories in Cherwell. We retained one seat and came pretty close in several others despite the Reform threat and the vote splitting from other parties that should have known better. Next year will be even better!

According to a someone present at my local vote count today, a comment overheard from one of the Reform team when looking at the way the signage was attached to the walls : "At least they're using white tack". Yes that really is the level of invective many people have voted to support today.

Farage is bought and paid for. He's only goal is to make himself rich at the expense of all the naive souls who vote for him and his shady little party.

The question almost no-one is asking is what exactly is Harborne and the other crypto billionaires bankrolling Farage getting in return for all this money? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Good to be involved in a face to face debate with other parties, although a shame that two of them didn't actually show their faces. Worth noting that I was the only actual local leader that was there in person. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm by no means a royalist, in fact the very opposite. But credit to Charlie where its due. For him fawn and prostate himself to that odious orange creep to try to benefit our country is, I'm sure, as distasteful for him to do as it is for us to watch. Fair play to him.

I was doing studies of gender based play in children in the early 80s as part of my Psychology degree. Things were pretty much the same then. Disappointing that they don't seem to have changed much in 45 years.

Kidlington Councillor Fiona Mawson has called on Sainsbury’s supermarkets to take more pride in the appearance of the area around their Kidlington store rather than rely on the local council to pay to clean up for them, particularly in the alley adjacent to the Sainsbury’s store car park.

Did you know we once had the death penalty for homosexuality in this country? I didn't. Truly shocking. And really not that long ago in historic terms. Those poor men.

So Trump is going to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. By his own standards doesn't that make him a "crazy bastard"? Or is this just about trying to drag France, China and others into his personal genocide project? If the USA can't go through the strait no one can? Doesn't that make him as bad as Iran?

The UK's depleted armed forces readiness puts into stark focus the ludicrous choice to spend £128bn on maintaining a nuclear capability that we'd never realistically be able to use as opposed to conventional forces we may one day need news.sky.com/share/13517152

My fellow Green councillor Fiona has been working hard for residents in Kidlington for 4 years and is up for re-election on May 7th. A donation to her campaign fund would be really appreciated. We need more councillors like Fiona in Cherwell! Please share www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/vnG9deAl
