Emma Lightfoot @emmalightfoot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Just as BMW is a massive employer of normal people, but if huge swaths of the city were Mini factory behind a fence, people would rightly object. 110
Emma Lightfoot @emmalightfoot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026But offices and spaces that exclude based upon association with the uni are not inclusive. I grew up in Oxford and there are whole areas that are out of bounds to me, it's quite alienating. 110
Emma Lightfoot @emmalightfoot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yes but the point is this space will now be exclusively for University offices etc. So no more spaces like Common Ground that can be used by locals and students alike. So much of Oxford is only accessible to people who go to or work for the uni. 110
Emma Lightfoot @emmalightfoot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This Is a real shame. It means yet more of the city set aside for just the University and most inclusive spaces lost for normal people. We really need to fight to ensure that Oxford doesn't just become one huge campus with no access for locals. 140
Reposted by Emma LightfootRuthi Brandt @ruthibrandt.bsky.social · 06/10/2026All those Labour MPs so concerned with the safety of Jewish Greens. Really appreciate it, but if you were really concerned w/Jewish safety, you'd push your gov to be serious about the right wing thugs currently terrorising our streets, as we say here - jewishgreens.greenparty.org.uk/2026/09/11/j...jewishgreens.greenparty.org.uk 18123

Reposted by Emma LightfootOxford Clarion @oxfordclarion.bsky.social · 02/10/2026An unusual battery-powered tram could be considered as a fast link from Oxford to Witney, Carterton and other nearby towns. Oxfordshire councillors have been inspecting the Coventry Very Light Rail system, whose tracks are laid just 30cm into the road surface – greatly minimising construction cost. 54210
Emma Lightfoot @emmalightfoot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It was a pleasure to chair and organise. So many different stories from people, some I never would have believed. It just shows that we have to support each other and refuse to give up the space and the rage required to fix our broken health system. 052
Emma Lightfoot @emmalightfoot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Thanks Kris! I was really happy that we could create a space for members to speak and share their experiences together. 000

Emma Lightfoot @emmalightfoot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Of course yes it was England that delivered leave. But I hate that people living in places I have no connection with led my home into disaster. London should be a separate country to England, with Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton, Bristol, Liverpool, Norwich etc as independent city states. 001
Emma Lightfoot @emmalightfoot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Bits of England. I was living in Germany when the Brexit vote happened, and people would say to me that "your country voted leave". It got me thinking, I grew up in Oxford/shire which voted heavily Remain. Then lived in central London, remain. And finally Norwich, which also voted remain. 100

Emma Lightfoot @emmalightfoot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026There are a lot of commitments in the manifesto they gave completely ignored or unturned on. 000
Emma Lightfoot @emmalightfoot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The last manifesto had things like protecting trans rights in it. So excuse me if I'm not too impressed by manifesto promises, that won't even be pursued until 2029 by a party that has shown repeatedly the manifesto isn't worth the paper it was written on. 051
Emma Lightfoot @emmalightfoot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It's also a way of spending all that money without the scrutiny and limits of an election period. If he blows all those dodgy donations on grandiose rallies and events then even if he is punished the damage will have been done and the benefit gained by Reform. 010

Emma Lightfoot @emmalightfoot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026No more "dignity and respect", it's time for Justice, Liberation, and changes to the law that reverse the attacks on trans people and ensure they can never happen again. 061

Emma Lightfoot @emmalightfoot.bsky.social · 16/09/2026How often are bigots told their "views are in the minority"? Almost never, because they are constantly being told they are right by a media that has whipped up this hate. 010
