Our Gurkha veterans have served Britain with distinction and we owe them a debt of honour. I spoke about the need for a fair deal for Gurkha veterans who retired before 1997 who are on lower pensions.

I asked the Chancellor how investment in green energy will help protect consumers.

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.

My weekly update including: 🚌 Reading Buses new electric vehicles 🚗 The Chancellor's work to protect the UK from uncertainty in the oil markets 🎓 Meeting with the Sutton Trust about social mobility and access to education

I’m backing government action to tackle online harms and have written to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology to raise both my own concerns and those of local residents. Thanks to BBC Radio Berkshire for covering this important issue.

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.

During a debate on the UK Town of Culture competition I highlighted much of the wonderful heritage we are so fortunate to enjoy including Reading Abbey, Reading Gaol, and our links to the writer Jane Austen. I also highlighted my campaign to turn Reading Gaol into an arts and heritage hub.

The Royal British Legion, Reading Borough Council, and local organisations like The Forgotten British Gurkha Charity are playing a vital role supporting forces veterans. I paid tribute to them and asked for best practice from Reading to be shared across the country.

I welcomed the range of measures the Labour Government is taking to support families with the cost of living, including lifting the 2 child cap on UC, the warm homes plan, the first rail fare freeze in 30 years, and many other measures.

I was pleased to welcome the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband, to Reading today to visit the homes built by the council on the former Arthur Hill Pool site. 🧵1/3

This plan is plain and simple: reopen the government, and extend the ACA tax credits as-is for 1 year so families don't have to suffer while we work to negotiate long-term fixes.   We have the chance to make a real impact— I hope my Republican colleagues will join us.

I won't fund ICE without reforms. I'll be voting no today.

How worried am I about Trump starting military action in Cuba? Deeply. The analog is Putin — looking for a distraction when things go badly at home. Trump is already teasing it through people close to him. Watch full video here: substack.com/@thekenharba...

American families are already stretched thin at the pump. Now Trump says doubling gas prices would be worth it for his unauthorized war in Iran. He is not the one paying that price. You are. And he does not seem to care how high it goes.
