Badly Parked Oxford⁩ I think there was a Bad Parkers Convention in Dunstan Road today which coincided with an Illiterate Drivers Convention. Lots of bad tempers & dangerous manoeuvres by people who don’t understand what ‘Road Closed’ means.

When I first canvassed in Oxford 25 years ago, plenty of white older women said they’d ask their husbands how they should vote. Homophobia & antisemitism are found in many cultures, including British ones. You can’t pin these things just on immigrant cultures, Kemi Badenoch

A bigger problem is students bringing their cars to university. University of Oxford at least forbids this. I agree that it would be great if colleges allowed students to store stuff over vacations but 6 days of parental trips is nothing compared to allowing students to have cars here.

Ever wondered why some people don’t go into politics or quit, especially women? Read some of the responses here & you’ll have your answer. Abusive, misogynistic- it’s all here.

This is such a pain in the ass. These e-bike companies should be required to lease out car parking spots and make their riders park them in them.

Lime⁩ Could you please get this bike moved which has been dumped in Dunstan Road, Headington? I’ve moved it closer to the wall so that people with wheelchairs & buggies can get past. There’s no pavement on the opposite side of the road.

LimeAID⁩ Can’t quite believe your cheek & laziness in asking volunteers to do your work for you, while you make money out of your e-bikes but here’s the code for the dumped bike in Dunstan Rd. OX3 9BY.

Well cheers Oxfordshire County Council for refreshing the lines that got me knocked off last year breaking both arms and a critical tendon. The lines are USELESS - they put you straight in door opening zone and drivers on the main carriageway just ignore them. Cyclox Cycling UK

Some brisk and breezy #LabourDoorstep in Blackbird Leys this morning. We call on residents all year round to talk about local issues and pick up casework, not just at election time.
