Open Doors in Oxford today. Open Season for shitty drivers on the Cowley Road every day @badlyparkedox.bsky.social

A long wheel based van that has been parked on the footway, alongside traffic light zig zags and, for the chef's kiss, completely over a bollard. Cowley Road, Oxford, 1830, 12/9/26

"Nobody voted for this" is a trope used across the political spectrum across most policy. Notwithstanding the need to do some studies at the junctions for some sequencing adjustments, it has led my curious mind to the question - well, what did people vote for in Westminster, Manchester and Glasgow?

A screenshot of a tweet from John Stewart. The tweet reads: "Today's Times (attached is a screenshot with the headline 'Half of e-bike riders ignore red lights at busy junctions'). We need a crackdown on this nationwide and in London where the survey shows it is at its worst it strengthens my view we need a public debate on the role of cycling. Nobody voted for this."

Fox hunting was banned more than 20 years ago. So why is it still being celebrated? As the Festival of Hounds takes place, we're calling out attempts to sanitise the reality of fox hunting👇 leagueacs.co.uk/kgDr8

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

It’s worth mentioning, though it’s been said repeatedly: the Lizzie Line carries 1/6th of UK daily rail passengers (not including the Tube) and has already paid off its entire costs. And if HS2 had been committed to, without plans being tweaked every 5 minutes, Phase 1 would be opening next year.

In the foreground three members of the League Against Cruel Sports show their banners asking for a government manifesto promise of a consultation on properly ending hunting with dogs to be fulfilled.

Social media is not equivalent to the BBC (a public broadcaster should be held to a far higher standard, it's funded by us, it has privileged access to audiences, that's the whole point) but sheesh compare the government reaction to when a single person at Radio Westmorland does a bad Facebook post.

Something could have been done about this in the recent street works but I guess no one wants to walk 30 seconds to a car @badlyparkedox.bsky.social

On the pavement on Cowley Road, walking towards Leopold St, three drivers have stored their vehicles on the newly refurbished pavement and tactile paving. A further car can just be seen parked on the traffic light zigzags.

I think Oxford's Underground Catherdral entrance has had a makeover.

From St Giles Oxford, a view looking downstairs, below street level, to a red door. This location used to house toilets. Ornate railings surround the staircase down to a black and white tiled entrance landing. There are plants tastefully arranged on the walls.

UK benefit fraud prosecutions are 23 times more than for tax offences. Tax fraud up to nine times higher than benefit fraud. Laws against the rich are not always enforced. Govt taking powers to snoop on bank accounts of benefit claimants. Same won't apply to tax abusers, scammers. It is class war

Finally: your regular reminder that training for cyclists is fine, but unless you have obviously safe cycling infrastructure it's a bit like training kids to test their lunches for listeria because the school cooks can't be arsed with hygiene; basically a distraction from the actual problem.
