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.

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.

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.
