This person is unfit to run a bath, let alone a council

Proud to work with this great team!

It’s official: I’m taking up responsibility for transport in Oxfordshire. I’m excited to take on this responsibility as part of a great team (details of which are set out below) under our new leader Cllr Tim Bearder.

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

Pretty bloody emotional right now ❤️🤍 #COYG

NHS staff and teachers are to get free bus travel and Park & Ride parking in Oxford, funded by the city congestion charge. The plans were agreed at today’s Oxfordshire County Council cabinet meeting, which heard that schools and hospitals accounted for 42% of workplace parking within the ring road.

Honestly they're not a bad council, this lot

Nothing changes..why would it open.substack.com/pub/cllrdrna...

FAO anyone trying to implement progressive transport policy through local government Forget the Facebook commenters. Bite the bullet.

"Makerfield? Nah, she loves it. Much more fun than batting or bowling...."

Why aren't they parked? Presumably because parking would cost Waymo more than driving around small residential streets - so Waymo is just getting taxpayers and residents to subsidise it. Coming to the UK imminently.

Can't believe my 2015 vote is finally getting counted. Chaos, with Ed Miliband....

This is simply wonderful

Congratulations to my friend @timbearder.bsky.social who I have no doubt will lead us brilliantly 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️ news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/leadership-h...

This letter is really something, my god.

Really looking forward to seeing our brilliant new cabinet members crack on for Oxfordshire @lauragordon.bsky.social @garethepps.bsky.social

The sheer amount of unfair, bad-faith crap he has had to face over the past 4 years (mainly online and social/media) would destroy most lesser mortals Thank you for taking our county forwards @andrewgant.bsky.social !

Please, Labour types. Starmer is a decent man but clearly a terrible PM. It’s not going to get any better. Just get it over and done with ASAP

At some point on my lifetime we might get a government which recognises that having an entire tier of elected institutions which are just powerless complaints departments for a failing social care system is not a healthy or sensible state of affairs.

Well done RFK Jr, you bloody idiot www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

May I please ask how democracy is supposed to survive if one party is so much richer than the others, that they can just do this so easily?

Happy Early May Bank Holiday Emergency milk run ride bolt on = successful ✅

Candidates like this will be a crucial test for Polanski’s leadership. Both action and inaction send a clear message about what his Green Party will and won’t accept.

Days like this I'm so glad I didn't sell the Brompton #abingdon #oxfordshire #multimodalcommuter

Local election candidate on Facebook This is genuine median voter behaviour. And fair enough!

We've been enjoying Southern Town Park Run in Abingdon recently A really fun and friendly way to get the youngsters interested in exercise 👍😎

Let us hope the new bollard in picture two stops the thing in picture one happening! 🤞

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🐉 Happy St George’s Day - hope you’re all having a good one! I’ll be out doing my patriotic duty watering new street trees 💧🌳 With the dry spell (and 🌍 Earth Day just gone), they need it. Got a young tree nearby? A watering can helps Become a Tree Guardian! [email protected]

Welcome to Abingdon, M&S food! Bike parking now open again to the side 😉

Either this person has changed their views, or political party labels mean absolutely sod all

Is your street looking like a moonscape? Potholes are the perennial subject of “just fix it” Facebook outrage – but in 2026, wet winters from climate change, heavier cars, and spiralling pressures on council budgets have combined in a perfect storm. Our long read: oxfordclarion.uk/the-hole-in-...

We were delighted to join partners at the official opening of Fern Meadows in Faringdon – a brand‑new extra care housing scheme helping people aged 55+ live independently, with care and support on hand when needed. Watch the video below to meet some of the residents and see inside 👇

Pleased to see overwhelming opinion IN FAVOUR of the NCN5 cycle and walking improvements to our town centre, including contraflow lane In Abingdon we don't mess around or sit on the fence www.facebook.com/share/p/18EX...

Did an Ancestry DNA test. Unexpectedly I'm now a supporter of Welsh Independence and will be taking up learning Icelandic (??)

Correction: *this* Green (at least) is an embarrassment Every party has em. It's just incredibly disappointing

You can vote for any politics you like, as long as it's NIMBY.

The lifting of the SEND improvement notice for Oxfordshire is welcome news! And well done! @seangaul.bsky.social The focus now has to be on reliable support that families can feel in their day-to-day lives. The council will not stop trying to improve 👇 news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/government-r...

I have seen a lot of NIMBY selfishness in my time, but "my convenience matters more than cancer care" is a new low. Quite seriously tempted to email them and tell them as much.

Survival doubled. For one of the worst, hardest to treat cancers. Science is a bloody (and dare I say pharma/biotech) magical thing…. www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/revo...

JD Vance, are you free in October

What a beautiful day for democracy and for Europe 🇪🇺 🇭🇺 And you can piss right off @jd-vance-1.bsky.social 🇪🇺

In Oxford today I cycled past two lots of morris dancers to get to the drum & bass bike (no crossover party..) next to outdoor seating for pubs and cafes. 10 years ago this would be impossible: beautiful Broad Street was a thru road and used as a big car park. We don't always have to put cars first.

For the good of the sport.....thank god for that! #parisroubaix

It may seem like nerdy detail that the increasing weight of cars is worsening potholes, but it matters. The car makers push to sell wider and heavier cars is increasing road maintenance costs and that affects us all. Not to mention worse crash outcomes and less space to pass (wider) parked cars.

Three Oxfordshire districts are among the top 30 councils in the country for household recycling: South Oxfordshire (61.3%), Vale of White Horse (58.9%), West Oxfordshire (57%), and Cherwell (51%). Oxfordshire overall recycles 56.6% - the highest of any county council.

The point is that you will now get a shop, and much more Politicians need to see beyond narrow self-serving interests

A beautiful segment on West Oxfordshire and their perfectly modest proposal to build homes on one of their billions of car parks But Tories being complete oxygen thieves, who'd have guessed

The Abingdon Monk is back, and better than ever!

Nice to see a few more of these going up in my patch, on request!
