1 in 5! Think of all the children you see and 1 in 5 is now scarred by poverty. 1 in 5! More than a fifth of UK’s ‘austerity children’ scarred by poverty, study says www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”

What sort of society is it where we take away the only respite from an 84yr old caring for his two disabled sons... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

A must read...

This is primarily why I will not be voting @oxfordlabour.bsky.social next month. You should never punch down! Next week’s disability cuts will make people destitute – and you might not understand how bad they are until it’s too late | Frances Ryan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Italy's commitment to boycotting World Cup's hosted by ethically immoral countries is quite impressive.

Does anyone have any idea whether something is an April's fool or not? I surely don't.

Go back to where you came from... P***K.

At my wife's school they performed a "lockdown drill" today... Get under tables for 15mins etc etc. I do wish schools were educated (ironic) about relative and absolute risk. If they were rather than performing such ridiculous drills - 1 of 2...

Having been a previous Labour councillor within Oxford, I can say that many locally known this is bollocks, and it won't work, but this is all about votes, and...

The lunatic quality of these proposals is persistently underestimated. They are far, far worse than people recognise.

Another in the ongoing series of carbrained councillors spouting utter shite. A parking space is replaced by some cycle parking. A driver crashes into the racks and a cllr suddenly declares its an unsafe location. Weapons grade stupidity. road.cc/news/driver-...

💯

Councillors please stop posting pictures on social media of them hedge trimming, clearing paths etc, it is ablelist and isn't commissioned, so fundamentally you are taking someone's job! Do it, sure, just stop advertising the fact that you class this as great work you are doing for your community!

#EidMubarak Why are Muslims treated differently, imagine if the words uttered by Timothy were directed at any other religion, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, his head would have rolled. Attorney general asks if Kemi Badenoch would object to Jewish public prayer www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

London is proving that sustained action on road safety delivers real change. By investing in better junctions, safer speeds and HGV safety standards, we’re building a city you can move around with confidence. Low rates are a start, but our goal is zero. Because every journey should end safely.

Furthermore, there is a huge ball of fire blazing down upon us just waiting to be harvested...

Always a good read...

Mr Harris is yet again on point here...

"I will also fight against the extremes in politics on the right and the left, parties who want to tear our country apart." #Starmer what an idiot. How does a comment like this make Labour more attractive!

Shut up with your mid-term nonsense! Voters aren't going back. Look at all the council by-elections.

Never punch down because occasionally we punch back! ✊👊💚 #GortonDenton

Boy is there a lot of ignorance regarding #Tourettes

Tickets are now available for ManConcert 6 at St. Mary Magdalen, Oxford. www.ticketsource.co.uk/manchoir/man...

My music streaming service has just played the following bands one after another: - Joy Division - The Doors - Jimi Hendrix - T-Rex - Nirvana The only connection I can see is... Lead singer died tragically young!!

Oxford is this high in the ratings not because of our infrastructure and society but despite it, imagine if we had better infrastructure and public realm, including affordable housing, sustainable transport etc, etc,

Nothing really to add to the conversation on this. The sooner we remove this administration the better.

I say this with all the sincerity I can muster... Fuck off Ratcliffe! Oh you have... to Monaco. The fucking irony!

I literally said yesterday morning, the only win for Labour here is to rejoin the EU...

Dancing outside of a carwash... Ouch! www.facebook.com/share/v/1TXZ...

"We're basically Yahoo." Ouch Marina. It’s nothing short of TV gold: mix horror with wild comedy and call it Starmer’s last stand | Marina Hyde www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hey @oxfordclarion.bsky.social please format your emails so that they can be read easily on a mobile phone!

At this point a policy the Labour Party should develop is rejoining the EU. The geopolitical and economical horizons have changed, the public sees this. They need a bold statement to determine the narrative. They won't lose voters to Reform, they've already gone. I can't see the downside.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

This new #LordOfTheFlies does insist upon itself!

Any bets on which MP is quoted in the last paragraph... Ouch! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

And this... "the New Statesman’s cover this week, which characterised the Mandelson affair as “the scandal of the century”. Guys, it’s not even the biggest scandal of the scandal." Excellent by Marina Hyde. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Oh wow. 💪💪💪

This is very good by @johnharris1969.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Quite a lot of pearl clutching on display in parliament and the media yesterday 🙄.

"Merdas touch". Amazing @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👏👏👏

A beautiful film with an astounding cast and soundtrack. Aftersun. If you need a piece of haunting music to think about the one you love you can't do much better than One Without by Oliver Coates.

I would be up there like a shot if I didn't have my caring responsibilities. Please everyone do your bit if you can.

Yeah wot he said...
