Southill Solar gets it right: work with locals, deliver local benefit. Botley West is vast, with weak engagement and thin benefit.
The Planning Inspectorate called missing info “very disappointing”. With the Secretary of State now deciding, these concerns must be weighed.

Last week, I attended Kinship’s reception in Parliament to hear directly from kinship carers about the vital role they play, and the gaps in support they still face.

I support solar and the need to move fast on clean energy. But Botley West is a test of whether communities are genuinely heard. Serious questions on transparency, delivery and community benefit still have no answers. That is not good enough.

The level of violence towards Jewish communities is intolerable. No faith group should have to put trained security staff in place simply to worship. We must all work to counter anti-Jewish hate.

I welcome support for our pubs, but this is too little, too late. A one-off bailout is not a long-term plan. Many pubs still face big business rate rises and the wider hospitality sector is ignored. We need a full review of business and property rates.

The last fortnight has shown us the dangers of relying on an unstable US President and the continuing threat from Russia as it pummels Ukraine despite “peace” talks. We have to strengthen our military capability fast: raising £20b in UK defence bonds would let us do that.

The families of our brave troops killed in Afghanistan - including those from Bicester Garrison - deserve an apology from the US Ambassador to the UK. Donald Trump has said many things I disagree with but none have made me as angry as this disgraceful slur on NATO troops.

Trump avoided military service 5 times.
How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.
