I don’t want tax cuts. I want the ambulance to arrive. I want good schools, public transport and town centres. I want investment in jobs, education and people. An extra tenner a week is no good to me when society is falling to bits.
"Red tape" keeps us safe from those who would cut corners.

When is @OxfordshireCC going to replace the filters on Beauchamp Lane and Crowell/Littlemore Road? It's a nightmare cycling that way now. Drivers need to understand that the filters are not "open", as one insisted to me, but they are vandalised. Please help, @AndrewGant3
@bigdamo@jonathan_rees@tvprp Thanks Damian. Drivers speeding past children while the bollard was down on Howard St last night (it’s back now). It’s just not safe like this.
@jaynelaura2 @MudDude4 @OwenJones84 Who says you can't think it? Someone disagreed with you, said they were baffled by your attitude. And? It's hardly thought control.
