My weekly update including: - Support for vulnerable young people - Campaigning for Gurkha pensions - Promoting access to sport

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

As more residents move to electric vehicles it’s vital that those without off road parking have a reliable charging solution. That’s why I am pleased to see that Reading Borough Council has launched a scheme for discounted cross-pavement EV charging.

My weekly update, this week as Parliament is in recess I have been working on a number of local community projects.

I raised concerns about the impact that any potential cuts to neighbouring fire services would have on our own excellent service here in Berkshire.

I welcomed the Government rejoining the Erasmus Scheme to offer new opportunities to young people and to support economic growth.

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.

I’m backing Reading Borough Council’s new Public Space Protection Order to tackle anti-social behaviour in our town. The PSPO gives council and police more powers to deal with aggressive begging, street drinking, the anti-social use of e-bikes & scooters, and dangerous dogs.

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.

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.

There's already a MAGA politician in LA. Funded by real estate interests & corporations, Traci Park is trying to make the west side more unaffordable. And she's one of the few local politicians who praised Donald Trump for his response to the LA wildfires. Vote @faizahforla.bsky.social for CD-11.

Is it just me, or does the music USA Network uses during the breaks seem a little evil empire-ish?

any law that is enacted and enforced without the active consent of the entire whole population is an illegitimate law, a soft law, and a law that should not exist.

"Trump’s approval rating is at an all-time low, and yet his candidates are mopping the floor with their opponents? The vote data in both Rep. Massie’s (R-KY) and Sen. Cassidy’s (R-LA) races falls well outside expected variance. Rep. Al Green’s (D-TX) data also appears anomalous."
