I absolutely understand Starmer has a tightrope to walk with Trump, but it’s fantastic that we can have a mainstream UK politician on CNN! not fearful to speak the truth about the orange PEDOTUS.
Zack Polanski on President Trump, "It's difficult to call him anything other than a fool"
"This is sociopathic behaviour"
"He is toxic, misogynistic, racist"
"I'm not a fan of Trump"

Absolute scenes in Oxfordshire. LABOUR voting WITH TORIES and the car brained IOA to remove a traffic intervention designed to speed up buses, and was recommended by 74% in the citizens assembly THEY ASKED FOR, AND that has already been praised by the BUS companies, after SIX days.
The vote on Oxford’s Congestion Charge is taken and goes broadly along party lines.
For removing the charge: 22 (Con, Lab, Ind)
Against removing the charge: 36 (LibDem, Green, Henley)
Abstain: 2 (Will Boucher-Giles, LibDem for Chesterton; Emma Markham, Green for Shrivenham)

New Great British Railways legislation out today
After 30 years of failed privatisation, the government's new legislation is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get the railway this country deserves. But public ownership is just the starting point.

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies
Those companies pay billions to their shareholders
And then lay off their workers
Think that's unfair?

For too long, industry has been labelled a “hard-to-abate” sector. It’s time to rethink that.
With rapid advances in electrification and energy efficiency, much of industry is not hard to abate — it’s ready to innovate.

Hugely concerning that govt is considering slashing funding for desperately needed home insulation to cut bills in the short term. It’s vital to protect the Warm Homes Plan for long term investment to fix poor housing. Why not use a wealth tax to cut energy bills instead, Rachel?

This goes past poor reporting into being wilfully misleading. Despite identifying exploitation, no mention of it as an issue, or the human trafficking often involved. Instead just uncritically repeating the misleading claim that "illegal working is a pull factor". 1/

Excited that the Oxford Congestion Charge means that the 3/3A will now run to the station!! Amongst a whole host of other bus improvements.
Oxford Bus Co has announced more frequent bus services from November to coincide with the congestion charge coming into effect. The improvements mean Blackbird Leys and Cowley will have services to the city centre every 10 minutes, while Iffley Road gets a new night bus.
