I welcome Reading Borough Council’s new Public Space Protection Order which comes into force across the town today, giving the council and police new powers to tackle anti-social behaviour like street drinking, aggressive begging, dangerous use of e-bikes and scooters, dangerous dogs and fouling.

Grocery costs just jumped 3%, and it is only getting worse. Trump is hiking diesel prices with his reckless Iran conflict, and we are the ones stuck with the bill. We are literally paying for a war we never wanted. 💸 #WeCantAffordTrump

"My government and I are not here to investigate whether the war was good or bad" Sri Lanka president Anura Kumara Dissanayake addressing the 17th National War Heroes’ Day event assures no action will be taken for accountability over alleged war crimes & crimes against humanity.

Politicians who didn't build protected cycling networks or control vicious dogs were villains. Bus driver could have recorded the near miss then reported it to his union & management if he supported protected cycling networks for his kids, himself & the public. Some bus drivers are also cyclists.

In states like Alabama and Tennessee, Trump and his cronies are rigging congressional maps to silence minority voters. This fight isn’t about party—it’s about right versus wrong. We must reject partisan gerrymandering, demand fair maps, and secure equal representation for every American.
