Vital traffic data was withheld by @OxfordshireCC ahead of its controversial decision on bus filters. We’ve written to OCC Chief Executive calling for an urgent investigation, a fresh consultation & key decision to be made by full council. Public trust in OCC must be restored 👇

[Cllr Liam Walker @_LiamWalker_]

I’m pleased to have been elected this afternoon as the new Chairman of the Place Overview & Scrutiny committee at the County Council. Scrutinising the work of the council and the coalition isn’t just important as a member of the opposition party but also for the residents of #Oxfordshire. Safe to say there is plenty of work for us to do…

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

Today marks a major moment for our economy.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Inflation is now 2.3% ✅

Let's stick with the plan.

[Sir Jeremy Hunt MP @Jeremy_Hunt]

Today is an important day for the economy, with inflation now back within normal range.

The last few years have been difficult, but the IMF say the economy is approaching a soft landing - and our long term prospects are better than any other major European economy.

Crack team of @NorthOxonCons out and about today delivering more of @VictoriaPrentis's residents' surveys. Loads of doors knocked, with plenty of positive conversations.

#Budget2024

[Cllr Liam Walker @_LiamWalker_]

A long day at County Hall in #Oxfordshire but the budget passed with Lib Dem’s & Green’s back working with Labour to get it over the line. More anti-motorist pet projects and council tax going up again by another 4.99%. I will keep speaking out against this chaotic coalition…

[Cllr. Eddie Reeves @Eddiefreeves]

Lib Dems @OxfordshireCC swallowed Labour's budget whole today. I've said it before & I'll say it again: there's no difference between them.

[Cllr Liam Walker @_LiamWalker_]

🔶🥀🌿 There we have it. The LibDem/Labour/Green anti-motorist coalition are back together in #Oxfordshire! After hearing the Lib Dem’s criticise the Labour amendment they buckled & accepted the Labour budget to keep hold of power. Residents are paying for this chaotic coalition!

[Oxford Clarion @OxfordClarion]

@_LiamWalker_ (Con, Hanborough): “The LibDems have buckled to Labour. It’s a desperate bid to keep control of the county council. The election’s looming next year and you want to keep hold of power. The anti-motorist coalition is back and residents are picking up the tab.”

[Oxford Clarion @OxfordClarion]

Con leader @eddiefreeves: “Their plan B was always to swallow whole the Labour amendment. They voted for a £56m tax bombshell. We will vote against this with our heads held high.”

[Oxford Clarion @OxfordClarion]

Cllr @Ian_Corkin (Con, Ploughley): “I remain ready to work with @KateGregory1 on the [SEN] resource base issue. But from a political point of view the two tribes are wedded to each other now.”

[Oxford Clarion @OxfordClarion]

Cllr Kieron Mallon (Con, Bloxham): “If I were a betting man I would have had a fiver on the [amended budget] document we have before us. It is a left-wing alliance. Tax and borrow. Spend, spend, spend. I am just flabbergasted.”

[Oxford Clarion @OxfordClarion]

Cllr @ArashFatemian (Con, Deddington): “There has been a wilful disregard for the speakers today and for the points raised by our side. What I was not expecting from the Liberal group was total capitulation to the Labour amendment. But you can only fake something for so long.”
