The brute truth is that successive Tory attempts to run economy and society around reducing the state, cutting public investment and hollowing out public services has caused economic decline and acute social distress. Now deservedly they reap the whirlwind.

A tremendous set of results for Labour in Wokingham Borough Council - our biggest Labour Group there ever, with more gains than any other party.

Added to our Reading Borough results, we’re now the party with the most councillors in Earley and Woodley constituency.

Congrats to Reading Labour Councillors for a strong set of results, and in particular to all our newly elected councillors, our candidates and activists.

Labour has continued to increase its majority in Reading Borough, while the Conservatives have now lost every single seat here.

Vote Labour today. #dogsatpollingstations

Sad news that the Boulters - Bray Swim has been cancelled due to the filthy state of the river. But no need to just “hope” that it’ll be better next year - take action; vote Labour so that we can deliver on our pledges to clean up our water 🌹

What a delight to discover that Yuan Yang is one of the parliamentary candidates for Earley and Woodley, where I'll be moving soon. Yuan's exciting new book is launched on the very same day that I'm installed as vicar of the parish church of St John’s Church, Woodley.

📅Out in just ten days: my debut book telling the story of China's economic transformation and slowdown through the lives of four women.

With the myriad differences in my mum's tastes and mine, Peter Frankopan is one of the authors that we both agree on! I've been reading the Earth Transformed, which puts our ecological crisis in grand historical context, and would recommend (to you & your mum) RISC
