Reading Labour

Promoted by David Evans on behalf of The Labour Party, both at Labour Central, Kings Manor, Newcastle, NE1 6PA.

Today, we honour all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Now and always, we will remember them.

Reading’s Remembrance events this year: 📆 9 Nov: Remembrance Sunday - a church service at Reading Minster at 9.25am, followed by a march to Forbury Gardens and two-minute silence at 11am. 📆 11 Nov: Armistice Day - two-minute silence at Forbury War Memorial (11am).

When cycling into town the other day I happened to cycle by Reading Bike Hub, which only opened last month – so I stopped by to pump up my tires. While chatting with the team they said that they’re looking for volunteers. They’re based on Kings Street for anyone interested!

On Tuesday I spoke to the @CommonsBBCom about the governance and financial sustainability of football. I'm glad the Committee has now allocated time to debate this issue on Thursday 6th March, where I will make the case for robust action to the Minister. (1/2)

Christmas is not merry for everyone. It’s OK to not be OK. If it’s too much, help is out there.

A massive thank you to everyone who attended this years #ReclaimTheNight march tonight! A worthy cause to end gender-based violence. An incredibly empowering night but our work does not stop @reading_labour 🌹 #WhiteRibbonDay 🪧🙋🏻‍♀️

This Friday 29th November Reading women are invited to reclaim the night, supporting the campaign to end violence against women and girls. Meet at 5.30 by the Town Hall. Thanks to women who made placards for the Reading Labour Councillors who will be marching.

Completely unserious.

Residents are rightly concerned about developers planning to buy plots of land on Kennet Meadows. I asked the Environment Secretary to meet me and local residents to discuss this important issue. I was pleased that he agreed to a meeting.

Proud to support a clean energy revolution at Labour conference for @serauk but also radical and brave action for clean air, clear skies, a rich land and safe rivers. A national government working with councils to give our daughters and sons a stake in the future #LabConf24

I welcome the swift action taken by the new government to scrap the Ofsted single word judgment of schools, and its replacement with an evaluation of a range of areas giving a fairer and more accurate understanding of school performance.

How can you help stop violence against women and girls? Call it out, show support, report. #enoughisenough #ReadingFestival

Pakistan Independence day at the Reading Pakistan Community Centre was a wonderful event and it was good to be able to show my support for the local Pakistani community. readingchronicle.co.uk/news/24529717.…
