Cowley Road Carnival will return as a āfocusedā event on 20 September, building up to a full carnival in 2027. New trustee Alan Brown, whose background includes Flo Fest and Leys Festival, said ā2026 is about a tight, well-delivered event that gives us the platform to go bigger and better in 2027.ā
Pointing out that the UK is not even in the top 20 most LGBTQIA+ friendly countries in Europe, Oxfam says it stands against all oppression and discrimination as it drives inequality, increases peopleās chance of living in poverty, causes harm, and prevents people from upholding their rights.
A complete violation of the town and gown balance, closing the entirety of Cornmarket in order for the Oxford Union to platform the far-right, utterly ridiculous
If there happens to be anyone considering standing for Labour leader, then this is worth reading and reflecting on.
You may have wanted this issue to go away but itās going to be part of the debate.

A very convincing Labour hold in Headington Hill & Northway for James Taylor. This was very marginal in last yearās by-election, suggesting the Independent Oxford Alliance are going backwards.

Last one of the night: Northfield Brook sees a return to the council for Labourās Trish Elphinstone. The party will be particularly happy about this ā not just because itās a Labour *gain* compared to yesterday (ind elected as Labour in 2022).
