Excellent article about how potholes got so bad and how the work being down to reverse the trend will take a little time.

🚨BREAKING🚨

MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union.

The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

Nature not a blocker to housing growth, inquiry finds Commons committee report challenges ‘lazy narrative’ used by ministers that scapegoats wildlife and the environment

This is not a suprise.
It's like the 'planning committees are blockers' argument.
Call me old fashioned but I think policy should be based on facts and evidence.

Oxfordshire County Council's cabinet member for transport, Andrew Gant, has fired back at Oxford East MP Anneliese Dodds over the city’s temporary congestion charge. In a five-page open letter, the LibDem councillor calls Labour’s opposition to it “grotesque, upsetting and bizarre”.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.

Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.

That, right there, is the problem.

Dear Mr Farage  

Welcome to Oxfordshire. You came here to talk about “mass deportations” but made no effort to understand the people or challenges of this community. 
  
Your proposals offer no costed plan. Daily flights, new detention centres and vast surveillance systems would cost billions. Empty slogans are not a substitute for serious policy. 

It did not go unnoticed that you spoke just minutes from Campsfield House, where a detention centre is being rebuilt despite local opposition and past scandals. Yet you chose not to meet residents living with those consequences. 

You often invoke Winston Churchill, born here in Oxfordshire. He spent his career grappling with difficult truths and forging alliances in our national interest. Instead of sowing division, we should build on that legacy. 

Our immigration system is broken after years of Government failure. It needs urgent, practical reform: fair, managed migration to meet workforce shortages, a faster asylum system and support for those fleeing war and persecution. That requires cooperation and honesty, not division. 

If you return, I would be glad to show you Oxfordshire’s real story: businesses thriving thanks to home and overseas talent, health and care services desperate for staff and residents supporting refugees with compassion. You would see a community interested in solving problems, not fuelling conflict. 

Yours sincerely 

Calum Miller MP

Was great to join other Friends of the Earth groups at the Westminster lobby to call for action on climate, nature and justice. We had productive meetings with Freddie van Mierlo, Anneliese Dodds, Olly Glover, Callum Miller and Sean Woodcock 🌍💚

Only city residents? I think there would be a lot of support for this across the county

Really encouraging shift towards supporting voting reform. I am definitely part of the 60%.

Voter apathy is rife, and making every vote count and removing the need for tactical voting would surely help reverse that.
