Would you want to share a council chamber with your dad? Emily Lygo Labour candidate for Headington would! She says she’s inspired by her father Cllr Mark Lygo (Labour) who has enjoyed campaigning as a family

[Headington News @HeadingtonNews]

The Oxford Mail reports that although the Co-op in Headington will close on 3 January 2026, there is apparently "interest in a new post office branch nearby": https://t.co/A2RhJ6npyg

BREAKING: Fed Chair Jerome Powell just announced that Trump's tariffs are larger than anticipated and they may put the central bank in a challenging situation “not seen in decades.”

TRUMP DID THIS! Not Biden.

Good to be out on the #LabourDoorstep with the brilliant Anne Cullen and @BanburyLabour in Easington today.

Lots of support for the additional £8.9m boost Oxfordshire Labour secured, to get more potholes fixed.

URGENT: Imagine paying for food poisoning and covering the restaurant’s debts when it goes under.

That’s what water bosses could do to consumers.

@MatthewDandrid8 @Oxford_Labour @LubzStaProperty @AnnelieseDodds Specially on what grounds?
Vague, generalized accusations of wrong doing do not contribute to the solution and serve only to undermine confidence in our democratic process.

Wielding a big stick by "higher powers" sounds more like 1984 than 2024.

Anything wrong with corrupt CPS!

@MatthewDandrid8 @Oxford_Labour @LubzStaProperty @AnnelieseDodds Even if true, "Bullying" is no way to run a county council administration. 😱
The majority libdem coalition appear to dictate many policies without consultation or regard to other elected representatives opinion.
Perhaps they would be more at home in the new 🇺🇲 government?

[Oxford & District Labour @Oxford_Labour]

The County Council want to turn off our street lights after 11pm, with just a week's notice - this is unacceptable.

I have seen nothing but praise for our @Oxford_Labour councillors over this, from everyone affected

I don't think I've seen a problem dealt with as quickly and effectively as this either, and I'm clearly not alone

[Oxford & District Labour @Oxford_Labour]

We love to see it! 🤩🌹

Great to have this bus back, even on a reduced service (it's also FREE!).

🥰 46A 🥰

[Oxford Clarion @OxfordClarion]

Local bus campaigners say a “no blame, just a solution” approach paid dividends in restoring a bus service to Donnington Bridge. @OxfordshireCC is using its own minibus fleet to run the 46A, a stand-in for the 46 which was thwarted by the emergency weight limit on the bridge.

[Oxford Clarion @OxfordClarion]

Judith Secker from the 46 Bus Campaign said “I think we might have seen the fastest solution ever from an Oxfordshire local authority”, and thanked local councillors @BradTBaines and @Charlie_Hicks_: “The voice of residents had a major impact on their ability to act so quickly.”

Over 78 airstrikes on Lebanon 🇱🇧 by Israel 🇮🇱 in the last 24 hours.

•Over 2000 civilians murdered
•At least 4 attacks on UN forces in 3 days.
•At least 2 UN peace keeping soldiers shot.

Ban arms sales to Israel 🇮🇱 now
The Hague now.

Recognise Palestine 🇵🇸

Urgent Appeal:
I am reaching out to all those concerned with press freedom. Today, I was informed by doctors that the health of my friend and Al Jazeera cameraman, Fadi Al-Wahidi, has deteriorated significantly.
Fadi was shot by an Israeli sniper while professionally covering events, and he was wearing a press vest clearly marking him as a journalist.
We are currently in northern Gaza, under siege by Israeli forces. If he does not receive urgent medical treatment abroad, his life is at serious risk.
I urge all human rights organizations, press associations, and international bodies to assist in facilitating his immediate transfer out of Gaza for treatment. Your support could save his life.

Sometimes I think the Blob created Trump to get Dem voters in line behind the neocons and warhawks.

Dick Cheney is being paraded around as a paragon of reason, Biden is bumbling into WWIII, Harris is giving Netanyahu carte blanche, and Dems accept it because "orange man bad."
