It was a privilege to listen to teachers, parents, and students at Hartland High School alongside the Schools Minister Georgia Gould and my colleague Yuan Yang MP to discuss SEND support and new investment in the Reading area.

Last week I visited the Royal Berkshire Hospital with Ashley Dalton, the Minister for Public Health. Across England, the NHS saw the waiting list fall by more than 86,000 in November to 7.31 million, that’s the second biggest drop in 15 years.

It was great having the Prime Minister in Reading and to speak with residents about the Government’s work to stand up for communities like ours. If there any issues that you would like to raise, please contact me using the details provided at the end of this video.

Many parents are worried about the impact that social media is having on their children’s mental health and childhood, and I welcome the Government’s consultation on this matter. 🧵1/2

I spoke about the benefits of coordinating our rail track and rolling stock, benefitting passengers but also easing congestion on the roads by encouraging more people to take the train.

I paid tribute to the great work by Labour locally to make bus routes available to more rural communities who often lack access to regular public transport.

I asked the Water Minister to outline what action the government is taking to improve compensation for households and businesses if they have their water cut off or have low pressure. In the past residents have had to wait too long before receiving compensation.

I praised the approach Reading Borough Council has taken by resurfacing large sections of road at a time. This has improved our highways in contrast to other councils with awful road surfaces.

Post offices are vital to local communities, which is why I have been calling for the Post Office to recruit a new postmaster to resume the service in Caversham Heights. Please complete my survey if you haven’t had a chance yet at: mattroddamp.com/caversham-he...

Our voice is our power. That’s why Donald Trump and Republican leaders are trying so hard to suppress Americans’ votes in the upcoming elections. But we can fight, and we can win, by keeping up our efforts and standing up for our rights and freedoms in this country.

Todd Monken asked is he's been assured Myles Garrett will be a member of the Browns "I'm never told who's gonna be on the team who's not gonna be on the team if that's a question...I was never assured of anything when I took the job, other than once I signed my contract and what my contract said."
