Criminal gangs have built a mountain of illegal waste by the River Cherwell.
The police are calling the mega fly-tipping across the county ‘the new narcotics’. It’s time Labour clean this mess up in Oxfordshire and everywhere else.

We are so far through the looking glass that the man who tried to overthrow an election becomes president, the people who attacked the Capitol are turned into martyrs, & it's the BBC that gets punished - cheered on by the worst news outlets in the UK & the two most dishonest politicians of our age.
It’s not at all clear to me how the BBC can do any kind of serious journalism if its top two bosses can be forced to quit over such an obviously confected scandal. There is no substantive error here. How can the BBC report on Trump, or Farage, or anyone else, in these circumstances?

Yesterday, I joined a human rights group in Ramallah, the Occupied West Bank, to help Palestinian farmers harvest their olive trees. Then settlers arrived with guns, backed by the IDF, threatened us, and forced us out of the orchard. Violence is surging in the West Bank.

The Reform Party now takes cryptocurrency donations. Ireland banned them. The UK welcomes them. And Farage calls it freedom. It’s not. It’s money without accountability – and that’s a threat to democracy, argues Prof Richard Murphy.

There are lots of reasons not to leave ECHR. But apart from anything else, it just doesn't solve the problem the Tories/Reform think it does.
E.g. the Supreme Court judgment re Rwanda being unsafe explicitly said it was not based on ECHR.

Come on BBC! Call this serious journalism. It doesn't show Farage fawning to the Republicans who invited him over. It doesn't show how stupid and inept he looked after direct questions from Democrats. It doesn't show him lying under oath.

As we've seen across history, the populist playbook used by Farage is ugly, powerful and incredibly destructive.
We know where it will lead if we don't stop it.
