It only feels “radically progressive” because we’ve spent 40 years normalising radically regressive ideas. This was broadly how Britain worked from 1945–79, when average GDP growth was 2.6% a year — compared with 1.9% in the post-Thatcher years. It works www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I think it’s pretty clear that listening to Andy Burnham puts paid to the myth that everyone gets more right wing as they get older!!!

The US is no longer an ally of our country. Their governors regularly spread disinformation about us. America is a rogue state and a malign actor.

Even though this makes sound economic sense, I doubt the nasty and mean philistine instincts of the English media and politicians will ever allow this to happen here. Too many stupid people with chips on their shoulders will allow opinions to be placed in their heads by malign actors.

Spent an amazing day up on the Ridgeway above Uffington today. Politically, this landscape shaped by neolithic famers, Bronze Age people, Celts and Anglo-Saxons who loved it and knew it and made it their own makes a mockery of those who seek to claim immigration is wrong. Immigration is human.

Today was a case in point. At 3.30 the Botley Road was solid back to Frideswide Square. At the same time the Abingdon Road was completely clear and the journey from the centre to Redbridge took 4 minutes. This is clearly because all the traffic from Abingdon Road is now using Botley Road.

The new Oxford traffic scheme is a disaster. Since the Botley Road reopened it has been solid with traffic with repercussions and congestion backing up to the A34 western bypass. Buses are incapable of running to time on the west of the town and all routes beyond. This is our new normal.

Kylie Minogue released her first single, "I Should Be So Lucky" in 1987. 1987 was 39 years ago. If you said 39 years ago in 1987, that meant 1948 ... King George VI was still on the throne, The NHS was established, as was the state of Israel and war rationing would still carry on for 6 years.

The Beatles started off taking black American music and sold it to the UK as the simple pop they invented ... but as they went on they embraced music hall, brass bands and folk songs in a way we had no right to expect from them. I'm very proud of Bellowhead tracks that had more than a nod to them.

The older I get the crosser I get. I've noticed this general trend throughout my life - older people get cross about things happening the older they get. But things have definitely got worse throughout my life. Especially the past 10 years. Is this just perspective or is it really happening?

Piddington has not had a contested parish council election since at least 2016, because not enough villagers volunteered to stand. Tim McNally, the parish council chair who has appeared on talk shows and in right-wing media to protest against the centre, was “elected without a poll” in May 2024.

The councillor who chairs Piddington Parish Council, near Bicester, says that yesterday’s stunt referendum – in which the village voted to leave the UK in protest against an asylum centre – was “an example of democracy in operation”. Tim McNally himself gained his role without a contested election.
