A great Full Council today. Personal highlights were hearing from @andrewgant.bsky.social about how much of a difference Oxfordshire’s free bus travel for asylum seekers is making; @maggieflpv.bsky.social & Emma Markham’s pro-migrant motion, and wearing my public transport Xmas jumper in chamber.

More details in the Clarion's post below, and whilst I obviously love the pic of me & 3 activists from other parties singing carols, just LOOK at these train ridership growth figures!
Oxford station +20% vs 7% nationally. Love to see it. ❤️🚂

Oxfordshire County Council is “urgently reviewing” its use of X, formerly Twitter, as a result of “very recent news regarding Elon Musk and his use of his platform”. Devon, Southampton, and Warwick councils have all recently quit the platform.

A 30-year old Oxford resident, imprisoned for taking part in the Palestine Action paint attack at RAF Brize Norton, is entering the fifth week of their hunger strike. Amu Gib is protesting against “the victimisation faced by prisoners accused of taking direct action” for the Palestinian cause.

I met a Real Estate developer from Hong Kong at a party in London at the weekend, and was fascinated to learn they’re using AI to go back thru hours of recorded planning meetings to analyse each councillor for the councils they’re investing in. Am fun at parties, obvs.

Potentially good news for the nation's health: woodburning stoves are a huge source of air pollution. They damage the lungs of people inside the house as well, especially those who sleep in upstairs bedrooms who are exposed at high levels overnight.

Really interesting SD article specifically on the East Oxford LTNs, assessing support and opposition from those who live inside and on the boundary roads. It would also be interesting to see how this now looks given the Congestion Charge.

So how exactly are they meant to get to them? Many are placed in areas without accessible transport links. They can't afford to pay for journeys themselves because of how little support they get.
Yet again Labour choosing to pander to Reform than think of consequences.

Honestly could not be happier with this awesome gold vinyl iron-on bicycle that my friend @smeekings.bsky.social made for me. I have already had 3 compliments.
Couldn’t find anything long sleeved & sufficiently bike-branded so she fixed me up. 🥰
