@banburylibdems

The name largely says it all really - unofficial because keep getting told off for being slightly ahead of the party - for Banbury Constituency with the Districts and Wards within.

Fair enough. A34 not noted as exactly bike friendly.

He was on the Lowdown with Nic Cohen and despite the best efforts of Nic was very good. His Germay and England shortest histories are excellent and look forward to this one.

Is that just a random picture? I mean *it could be the A34* but clearly not taken recently.

We endorse this message. On this we are as one.
Last week I was going to reply to Ian after the by-election about how much I preferred a grumpy Ian to a happy one - but thought let the man be happy for a day or two. Seems he has returned to his natural state. Cherwell DC will be back in equilibrium.

If Rob Balocounce did that flick against me in my playing days, then he wouldn't survive the next ruck. Ulster having a strong evening. #irewal

Busy yesterday so rather celebrating St Piran's day today. Stargazy pie for lunch, cream tea this pm and just finished a pasty.
The latter whilst watching Piran's homeland take on our Welsh cousins at rugby. Tribute beer being drunk.
Alternatively I am celebrating St Sithney Day with the above.

To be honest in have no idea what a Auto Pen is. But get rid of all pardon- unless so blatantly miss carage - step forward Paul Foot, Roy Jenkins etc in UK. And probably MD in Private Eye re Lucy. In US always seems corrupt

Unfortunately I can imagine. I have seen it BUT will never understand how anyone can do it.
That's my weakness I understand the abused, but not the abuser. In Beirut a while back had a beer with someone who had been through Assad's torture camps, obviously understand him. But his abuser, never.

Do not watch this without awareness, not pretty.
Get well soon big man. Full solidarity from North Oxfordshire UK. We will always welcome you here.

Well our campaign to keep pubs going may have just reached terminal phase. Had heard anodotally that this may have an effect but this may be an endgame. I for one will miss the few pubs still open.

There is BS and there's Trump BS. Spain standing correct and rightly against this shitshow. Maybe @seanlwoodcock.bsky.social would like to encourage HIS PM to stand solidly behind our true friends and allies.

As an ex- sailor I endorse this post.
Obviously a ship with barely any offense capacity off Galle is definitely a threat to Tel Aviv - sorry meant Florida...
The Hague seems such a utopian place now...

Well that's wife, sister, father, grandparents out + Boris Johnson, Dan Hannan, Doug Carswell, every BAOR army brat etc denied the vote.
Or does the Mail only mean brown people who may be muslim? Could be honest in their bigotry. Fairly certain my list sufficiently white to pass Mail racist muster

Not sure Reform UK sending my wife a letter was a efficient use of resources, she couldn't decide of Nigel F or Robert J, the latter 'send' the letter and pictured together, she despised the most.
As they both seem to want to remove her right to vote anyway what was the point? Bad targeting

I have put in an emergency motion to spring conference for the next Education Secretary (obviously Lib Dem) to shut this school, with immediate effect.
Just in case it's correlation, not causation, and before Botherwick realises this.

But he's Lord Mandelson and as we know the rules only apply to us plebs.
And in this case l am afraid your Lordship, you are considered amongst the Plebians despite the age of the Bonkers title.

A perfect electoral system in a couple of bar charts.

Opinium constituency poll suggests three parties could win the Gorton and Denton by-election on Thursday.

Is there any reason Reform UK's 'Shadow' Home Secretary (sic) doesn't want to deport this degradate twat back to RSA?

I am now so confused by what Reform, Reclaim, Recommend, Reconcile (or whatever these fuckers are called) actually want that I'm not sure who wants to deport who to where. Fairly certain I'm behind Zia in the list, less certain about my spouse, but suspect she's in front Zia if push came to shove.

Well let's hope England go for causation and not correlation, which I am comfortable they will...regards to his Lordship, as always.

I feel it is our duty (and, yes pleasure) to laugh at England. The Welsh were fantastic today, but well Scotland just stuck at it and well ... as for Johnson lookalikes hot air and no trousers from what I have seen. Mind you was mostly in the bin or going backwards ๐Ÿคก

Luke Cowan-Dickie had a brutal day (Banbury Lib Dems has supporters from all the countries of the UK) far from me not to laugh at England. But I will...
But Luke is a decent type I co-hosted a Scout group zoom call during covid with him and he was a fantastic guest and really honest about ๐Ÿ‰ & life

Do like this. Not subtle but then not dealing with subtle people. Top work ๐Ÿ‘

What pre-polling? Has there been a single poll in this constituency ever?

Well replying to an account supporting being polite, turns out to boil Green and Socialist supporters piss.
Never blocked on Bluesky before. Have now.
Maybe someone, (in good faith) can explain why shutting a door behind you is a bad thing.

Nothing just good manners are something Lib Dems are in favour of. Tankies apparently less so
