It's a good feeling delivering a thank you card from new Councilor Andrew Gray, elected in Shinfield North. Not only is it a reminder of another #Labourgain in Earley and Woodley but he's already making his presence felt. 1/2

After the media discussion of Russell Brand I hope it helps more survivors of sexual abuse to seek support. It's why we campaigned for Trust House to open. They take self referrals. Please share this link: 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men will thank you.

One of the best things about my job is working with local charities. Yesterday I was signing off @ChemogiftbagsUK 's accounts. Can't put a price on it but last year they won not one but TWO awards: @PORawards charity of the year & @WoodleyCouncil volunteer of the year #Woodley

@alexsobel @serauk I've stood with @phi88 , outgoing chair of Reading Labour in solidarity so often. I'm proud to have her support in standing for Earley and Woodley. "I have known her as a community-focused campaigner, an inspiring councillor.. and I couldnโ€™t think of a better representative"

Marked one year of Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister by listening to residents in Shinfield. Very clear it is time for a general election and a fresh start. #LabourDoorstep @Earley_Labour

Thames Water: As Councillors we will press for enforcement action now and a future Labour government will - hopefully in the not too distant future - be forced to take action. 10/10

@LabourEuropean Thank you to @rdg_elliott for your support. He says: "Rachel is the right person to represent the constituents of Earley and Woodley in Parliament. Rachel has been a fierce advocate for local people through her work as Mayor and is also a strong ally to the LGBT+ community."

The number of people (non parents obviously) who seem surprised or skeptical about child care shortages is amazing. It's a major issue for all of us though, as it contributes to a productivity crisis and labour shortage. Even bigger challengefor SEND kids
