This is absolutely disgusting. Anyone associated with this should be ashamed. David Stares should disavow this utterly and demand removal of his details - or risk being associated with slander and abuse.

What country are we trying to build? Are we for those putting in the graft - innovating, working, training, investing for the future? Will we take on the grifters - skimming, ripping-off, gaming the broken system? This is what we’re building. More soon. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I love this. Making my town better WITH local people is why I love being a local councillor - and this bill from the @teamlbouruk.bsky.social AND @coopparty.party.coop Minister will make such a difference.

The path between Newland and Madley Park is being surfaced this autumn. Lighting will make it safe. Thanks to all my neighbours who helped campaign on this.

At the same time, Witney will get new express buses to Oxford in the early morning and late evening. The new S2 journeys will take around 35 minutes from Witney Market Square to Magdalen Street. Both this and the 600 are due to start operation in late February.

A new ‘orbital’ bus service starts next month, linking Redbridge Park & Ride, Oxford Science Park, Littlemore, Cowley, the JR, and Thornhill P&R, without the need to go via the city centre. The Stagecoach-operated 600 will run half-hourly, dropping down to hourly in the evening and on Sundays.

Norman MacCaig
November night, Edinburgh

The night tinkles like ice in glasses.
Leaves are glued to the pavement with frost.
The brown air fumes at the shop windows,
Tries the doors, and sidles past.

I gulp down winter raw. The heady
Darkness swirls with tenements.
In a brown fuzz of cottonwool
Lamps fade up crags, die into pits.

Frost in my lungs is harsh as leaves
Scraped up on paths. – I look up, there,
A high roof sails, at the mast-head
Fluttering a grey and ragged star.

The world’s a bear shrugged in his den.
It’s snug and close in the snoring night.
And outside like chrysanthemums
The fog unfolds its bitter scent.
