Well said @ec.europa.eu “The EU is an open, rules-based single market, with the sovereign right to regulate economic activity in line with our democratic values and international commitments” www.ft.com/content/c4e7...

A patently stupid and self-destructive idea, pushed by very entitled people who had nothing to lose and Putins disinformation machine and voted for in large part by bigots who thought it would make this country great again. All to the colossal detriment of the UK. F*** them all a million times.

Rejoining Erasmus is a real opportunity to start repairing the disastrous Conservative Brexit deal. However it must be a first step on a clear roadmap to a closer relationship with Europe. Starting with negotiating a bespoke UK-EU customs union, and committing to a youth mobility scheme.

Not a good look for Labour to deny 9 million people their local election say.

The Labour administration is desperate for this vanity project to go ahead even to the extent of ordering steelwork when they do not have a major contractor signed up. They are struggling to find the extra £4m to pay for it. Time to cancel it. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2570653...

Young people lost freedom, opportunity and experience because of Brexit. Re-joining Erasmus matters — but it’s only a start. That’s why Lib Dem MPs backed re-joining the Customs Union: supporting jobs, businesses and cooperation over isolation. #Erasmus #LibDems #politics

Let's just clarify who the headline refers to 👇 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Alongside other civic and faith leaders in Oxfordshire, I stand against all forms of hate. Here is our joint statement:

Reform is mired in scandals of racism, corruption and Russian interference. It's no wonder more and more people are turning to the positive voice of the Liberal Democrats as the antidote to this divisive politics.

A customs union with the EU is the single biggest step the government could take to grow our economy, put money back into people's pockets and generate billions for our public services. The Prime Minister must now listen to Parliament and the public.

Excellent work by LD MP Callum Miller to get the Government and EA to clear up this mess. BBC News - Fly-tipped waste mountain clearance to 'begin imminently' - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Oxford City Council's 1973 Balanced Transport Policy. wanderingdanny.com/oxford/docs/... This was hugely progressive, abandoning road building and looking to shift trips to public transport and cycling instead.

First month's data just released for the congestion charge effect in Oxford. Looks to be showing the predictions about traffic reductions in city were right enabling improvements to bus services. Early days yet but no impact on footfall as doomsayers claimed. news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/promising-st...

🚨BREAKING🚨 MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union. The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

Donald Trump is a Kremlin stooge who wants to sell out Ukraine and the rest of Europe to Putin. We can't let that happen. Starmer should seize frozen Russian assets in this country - today - and convince Merz and Macron to do the same.

🗳 No single party should form a majority government on a minority vote. In 2024 Labour won a majority, with over 63% of the seats contested, on less than 34% of votes cast. It’s possible that a party could gain a majority on as low as 25-30% under the disproportionate FPTP voting system🤷‍♂️ #getPRdone

Ed Davey has raised one of the most serious questions in British politics: why have Nigel Farage and his senior team repeatedly aligned themselves with Kremlin-backed media and messaging?

Daisy Cooper is correct that Brexit is the cause of the rise in small boat crossings. Many experts and reports link Brexit to the rise in small boat crossings, primarily because leaving the EU ended the UK's participation in the Dublin Regulation.

Well done Daisy

Nature must be treated as critical infrastructure, not a "nice-to-have", argued Oxford's Professor of Biodiversity, Nathalie Seddon, to an audience of over a thousand government and industry delegates at the first National Emergency Briefing on the climate and nature crises last week.

Nothing to see here, just some billionaire giving Reform £9 million I'm sure he doesn't want anything in return 🙄

Another gelato shop, Amorino, is expected to open on Cornmarket in the coming weeks. We have been unable to find out whether G&D’s is planning a Cambridge expansion in retaliation.

‪@eddavey.libdems.org.uk asks the Prime Minister about rejoining the customs union.

The tide is turning. Even the Telegraph is now admitting the damage the Brexit deal has done to the economy.

It’s time to admit what a disaster Brexit has been. Liberal Democrats have a plan to fix our trade with Europe to turbocharge the economy, fix the cost of living crisis and properly fund our public services.

The Telegraph denounces Brexit as ‘unmitigated economic disaster’ www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/the...

Good to see some proper research results about this. Would like to see it repeated next year once the other measures (congestion charge/bus filters and improved bus services (from today)) have bedded down. Only criticism might be that there have been LTNs in N. Oxford for many years.

The best description of the Telegraph you'll read this week.

Farage and his political parties and Russian influence on U.K. politics⁉️

Not forgotten.

The botched Budget made the wrong tax choices, and was a missed opportunity to tackle the £90 billion Brexit black hole.

The government must stop blaming Brexit and step up to fix our broken relationship with Europe.

Every planning committee developers propose the building of more 1 and 2 bed apartments. These do nothing to ease our housing crisis of 14,500 and 1,400 in temporary accommodation plus untold numbers of sofa surfers. That is why Lib Dems will build council houses.

I led the Liberal Democrats’ response to the Government’s Devolution Bill, which falls far short of its promises. Instead of empowering local communities, it centralises authority in Mayors, and will leave councils saddled with debt and set up to fail. I called them out on this.

Two things about this UKIP/Brexit/associate of Farage/ former MEP don't surprise me. Firstly there is a suspicion about taking Russian money and secondly that his home is in France.....

A quick reminder of who Nigel Farage was most concerned about when Putin's tanks first rolled into Ukraine
