Welcome to Oxfordshire @heidialexander.bsky.social 🫠 🕳️ Due to @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social incompetence and mismanagement of public funds our roads are some of the most poorly maintained in the country. When will the government step in to sort out their mess? www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2602562...

“We call upon all sides to implement the ceasefire, including in Lebanon.” A key and important sentence in a welcome joint statement from our government, European countries, Canada and Japan.

British cuisine. Best in the world.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Russia says President Putin has been invited to join Trump’s Board of Peace for Gaza. Astonishing to invite one of history’s most egregious warmongers on to a peace board. The international rules are already in the bin.

I'm not saying Trump is a Russian asset, just that I can't think of anything he'd be doing differently if he were.

Winter in Oxford 🌨️

@darrenpjones.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social @lucympowell.bsky.social He makes a good point. You're actively asking people to use X-stein island to see what the official governmentis saying whilst putting people at risk to seeing CSAM. It's no longer tenable

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

A reminder: Russia signed a treaty with Ukraine in 1997, accepting that Crimea was part of Ukraine. In 2014 Russia infiltrated Crimea and seized it. Now Pres Trump proposes that Ukraine should accept the loss of Crimea, and blames Pres Zelenskyy for refusing this peace deal.
