Again and again, we are shocked by the treatment of learning-disabled people. Yet we never learn from the past | John Harris www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As usual @johnharris1969.bsky.social is on the money here... At Glastonbury, I saw what England’s silent majority really looks like. Why aren’t politicians listening? | John Harris www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you, like Oxford Labour would like: * Cheaper and more accessible Public Transport * Action on private school traffic * More frequent P&R buses and shuttles Then support the Temporary Congestion Charge and in Q9 select the relevant options. 🗳️Consultation link: shorturl.at/FuVxo

Astonishing the number of #Labour #MPs marking 30years of the Srebrenica #Genocide without a hint of irony. #Gaza

It cannot be a preventative health service without addressing the social determinants of health, which this plan does not mention. Disappointing silo thinking. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

It's a fucked up world when Rachel Reeves crying affects our cost of living.

I wonder how many Palestinians were murdered overnight?

This!

102 killed today. But words are more hurtful apparently!

How inept, shambolic and embarassing this is for any Labour government. Let alone one with such a majority! www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

Bus-stop bypasses. Here's the @livingstreets.bsky.social 2024 report: "If levels of cycling are to be significantly increased, and this is to become an ordinary, inclusive means of transport, then entirely ruling out the use of bus stop bypasses is not a viable option. "

"After that carers should stop enabling newly disabled people by refusing to look after them." Ouch! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

God damn it I'm glad that Ireland exists.

Multinational tech, tax doging bastards they may be... But this is lovely...

Occasionally my brain comes to stop and thinks... "I can't believe a #Labour government is hitting the most vulnerable in society and actively putting more children into poverty 🤯"

Some excellent news for once... #NHS #BreastScreening www.nhs.uk/tests-and-tr...

“Worse than anything under the Tories.” For today’s Guardian, I spoke to leading disability campaigners about the government’s concessions and why they will urge MPs not to support the bill. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

"Reactions.. have been positive from Oxford’s bus companies, Cyclox, the Green Party, Oxford West's Lib Dem MP, and the Coalition for Healthy Streets and Active Travel. Opponents include the Labour administration on the City Council, the Labour MP for Oxford East, and Labour’s county councillors."

For all his "Socialist" credentials, you do realise that the multi millionaire Michael Eavis has actively avoided paying tax. #Glastonbury #Hypocrite

This is a depressing read, unfortunately... Global, regional, and national trends in routine childhood vaccination coverage from 1980 to 2023 with forecasts to 2030: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023 - The Lancet www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Health inequalities ≠ care inequalities. Remember that.

📍The geography of disability benefit cuts & jobs Some of the places with the highest rates of claims have fewest vacancies to go round. Cuts will make sick and disabled people poorer. From @data.ft.com www.ft.com/content/51d2...

What does it say about me and my upbringing, I always viewed Class being about education primarily. Class no longer main dividing line in UK politics, survey shows www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A fantastic piece by an excellent councillor. It cuts through the bullshit, hypocrisy and misinformation. @oxfordlabour.bsky.social councillors could learn something about the need to actually do something and not simply criticise and politicise. Chapeau Nathan Chapeau.

It is now only a byline ⅔ of the way down the page. 🇵🇸 At least 40 more Palestinians killed seeking aid in Gaza, say medics and officials www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Who are Keir Starmer's Labour party?! 😡 #PalestineAction

So are people getting their money back 🤔😂

Remember, on this fine Monday morning... "Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd." Rumi

Nestled in a 1500-word article about the behaviour of (some) people cycling in Paris, there is an important graphic. Of course, people being killed or injured by drivers of motor vehicles happens so frequently that it sometimes even ceases to make news. www.thetimes.com/world/europe...

So a run in with a #RoyalMail van today. Overtook me without predicting what was in front, he ended up blocking the Cowley Road. Idiot.

The A415 causeway is the main problem. It is currently a choice between a busy A-road or a narrow, bumpy, elevated footpath. So many who would like to cycle to Europa School and @ukaeaofficial.bsky.social are instead pushed into cars, adding to congestion, pollution, and road danger.

Public Health 101... IT DOESN'T MATTER! You should behave in the same way and avoid passing viruses on. 🤦‍♂️ www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/health/...

So Oxford...

Oxford Labour coming out against the Congestion Charge & offering no policy alternatives, saying people want "less congestion" and "to be listened to." So like the recent Labour-sponsored Citizens Assembly which voted 74% in favour of a congestion charge?!? oxfordclarion.uk/citizens-ass...

Yay can I do my #CongestionCharge dance? #Oxford

Is this at all surprising when 31% of children live in poverty. Desperate people do desperate things, especially when the status quo has failed them...

And we had a fantastic time. Bought some lovely stuff and ate a scrumptious lunch.

Well #OxfordPride was magical. Even the downpours couldn't put us off!

They can get in the sea, along with all their other shite... Bidders demand Thames Water granted immunity over environmental crimes www.theguardian.com/business/202...

This is not a surprise to anyone... www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

Eid Mubarak. I love seeing so many in their Eid finery. I'm quite jealous, I would love to wear a shalwar kameez!

That's now 3 articles in the Oxford Mail about the need for speed enforcement in Morrell avenue after the devastating crash last Thursday. And still vague, generic, non commitments from PPC Matthew Barber, not addressing the issue. archive.ph/ZeghB

And they will be more respected for doing so...

Disabled people are being “left behind” in the transition to electric vehicles The lack of accessible charging is so serious that EVs are even being handed back to the taxpayer-funded scheme ➡# https://trib.al/8PrAuJz
