Dismal from Oxford East's MP. Dreadful case of #motonormativity car brain.
Oxford is a city choked with cars, where active and public transport are clearly the best long-term alternative.
Labour MP for Oxford East, Anneliese Dodds, has come out strongly against Oxford’s new congestion charge, approved by the LibDem-run county council this morning. “Oxford is not London—because of our geography and also because our public transport isn’t up to London’s standard,” she said.

He's not in my constituency, but @calummillerld.bsky.social is spot on with this letter to the Farage.
Stop sowing division.
Start sewing communities together.

That’s one hell of an article title. And one hell of an image in the article.

“Call to drop Range Rover sponsorship of Wimbledon as SUVs 82% more likely to kill children.”

Good idea.

Prediction: Tomorrow the Oxford Mail will print a story about how Oxford will become a ghost town if the congestion charge goes ahead. And how some Councillors deciding it live out of Oxford.
With quotes from Jeremy Mogford (of Little Milton) and the IOA (Chair lives in Tackley).

A councillor suspended from the Conservatives for retweeting far-right group Britain First has become Oxfordshire’s second Reform UK councillor. Kevin Bulmer, who represents Goring on Oxfordshire County Council, joins Felix Bloomfield (Benson & Cholsey) whose defection was unveiled on Monday.

A nice walk by the river this morning before it gets too busy. Over Iffley Lock, and I'll head down to Sandford, maybe stop at Proof Social.
Plenty of runners and rowers out.
