During a debate on flood prevention I raised the importance of rewilding and other natural measures to increase capacity for drainage upstream of affected areas.

I welcomed the publication of the Warm Homes Plan, which will be a huge benefit to residents across Reading, and demonstrates the level of ambition this Labour Government has for improving the housing stock in the UK.

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.

It is a fundamental point of fairness that funding should be based on need, which is why I fully support the Government’s approach to the Local Government Finance Settlement.

I was pleased to join BBC Radio Berkshire to discuss how Labour is encouraging growth, bringing down the cost of living, and reducing the cost of government borrowing, all of which are a huge benefit to people in Reading.

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.

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’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.

SIKORSKI: In fifth year of war, Putin still fighting in Donbas, scared of Ukrainian strikes on Moscow. I bet not single person in this room would’ve predicted that. Amazing success by Ukraine. Russia is unable to launch offensive, losing territory and more troops it can recruit.
