Trade Unionist. Mad as a wet cat about unexamined privilege. 'Appily living without aitches. #GTTO.

Me listening to privileged people explaining why, actually, they can't see themselves voting Labour - when the reason they can think like this is, of course, that it makes little difference to their comfortable lives

[sane kate @SaneKate]

Great. Now I'm stuck with a councillor who supported LTNs going in & made false promises about taking them out, instead of @michele_paule who has fought for Rose Hill residents over this for years but was honest about the limits of city council powers to change them.

@CorinCole @Ind_Ox_Alliance I've heard that funders of the populist Independent Oxford Alliance include KBF supporters and big Oxford landlords seeking to overturn local regulations ensuring decent standards for renters. Any info out there to confirm/deny? #localelections

[sane kate @SaneKate]

Except that it was Trish Elphinstone that did this- Henwood is again claiming credit for something he had nothing to do with.

David Henwood Independent Oxford Alliance (IOA) candidate for Rosehill & Iffley campaigned to remove the Wands that have caused chaos at the junction of Rosehill, Church Cowley Road & Henley Ave.
Oxford County Council are removing due to make the junction safer for all

Had leaflet from independent candidate for Oxford City Council elections promising to take out LTNs. Doesn't seem to know that County Council decides this, not the City. Nor that Andrew Gant who is responsible for LTN decisions is LibDem not Labour. Hardly inspires confidence.

@JohnEdwards33 It's not that clever a fake. Very obvious AI

"If women had greater power in society a lot of the violence they face would dissipate. It's everywhere and it's getting worse."

Great interview by @FScott5050 with @centenaryaction convenor @HelenPankhurst

Deeply disturbed by the news that a girl held in a YOI was pinned down and forcibly stripped by a group of male prison guards.

Under the Tories, there is no plan for managing girls in youth custody. They are failing in their duty of care.

2 March 2024: Wendy Francis, 61, died at an address in Worcester. Another woman was found with serious injuries and was taken to hospital. Damien Homer, 50, has been charged with murder and attempted murder.

So this is the guy putting leaflets through my door saying he'll get rid of #LTNs if I vote him in as a City Councillor (doesn't seem to know only County Councillors can do that) because he's so on our side. Except when he is campaigning for the LTNs. Which he still is in places.

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

Good, now do Liz Truss

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

So why are you and Truss backing Trump? And have you given the money back from your Russian oligarch tennis partners?

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

Rishi Sunak's statement on hatred in politics fails to mention anti-Muslim hatred at all.

His deputy today refused to condemn Lee Anderson’s racist and Islamophobic remarks.

These are just the two most recent examples of enabling anti-Muslim hatred in the Conservative party.

[Anneliese Dodds @AnnelieseDodds]

Rishi Sunak isn’t just tolerating extreme views, he’s offering those who spout them a pay rise.

Lee Anderson already had a terrible track record when the Tories chose to pay him an extra £10k.

Utter weakness from a Prime Minister who simply can’t govern.

[Anneliese Dodds @AnnelieseDodds]

Lee Anderson’s comments are unambiguously racist and Islamophobic.

Rishi Sunak needs to immediately remove the whip.

If he is too weak, then people will take their own view of the modern Conservative Party.

[sane kate @SaneKate]

Am furious that LibDems are surreptitiously offering ANPR-only LTNs with passes for ALL Headington residents - we got an email about it. But Andrew Gant told residents of Littlemore and Rose Hill that they couldn't have this because it cost too much. Feathering their voting nests

[sane kate @SaneKate]

Simon here randomly mobilising CSA to score points over LTNs = a new low

[simoncalalot @simoncalalot]

Roj here seems to think that Jimmy Savile, sexual predator of children, is a lesser abuse of power than infrastructure that protects children. What kind of person actually thinks that way?

@EmilyKerr36 It's designed to keep motorbikes off the playing field. This is a problem in Rose Hill. You need a bit more local knowledge of council estates
