weird how they keep leaving the women out of the picture

[Reading Buses @reading_buses]

New fares start today for singles and returns due to the national fares cap increasing to £3. The great news is that single fares in Reading will be cheaper! https://t.co/CmidUypWi8

This is the truth about Labour's Budget and farmers.

Today the PM announced our new world-leading target to cut UK emissions by 81%.

There is no national security or economic security without climate security.

That's why we have announced this target today.

To protect future generations, deliver jobs and drive economic growth.

[Reading Borough Council @ReadingCouncil]

Work is under way to decarbonise the Council's buildings.

We're replacing gas boilers with heat pumps in the Civic Offices & Hexagon Theatre, our Bennet Road site is becoming a net-zero depot & funding has been secured to investigate decarbonisation of the Town Hall.

Rachel Reeves confirms that councils will be able to keep all the money raised through Right to Buy sales. A big step that councils have long been asking for to help them build more. Long overdue. #Budget2024

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

The sheer volume of coverage given to stories about landlords, shareholders and people sending their kids to private schools, possibly having to pay just a little bit more in tax, tells you everything you need to know about what the priorities of the British press really are

[Leader of the House of Commons @CommonsLeader]

Today the new rules on MPs taking second jobs comes into force. @LucyMPowell talks about why these changes are important.

Corbyn, who is himself privately educated, abstained.

What a fiasco.

[Trumpton @Trump_ton]

Laura Kuenssberg is paid £325,000 a year

Chris Mason is paid £265,000

Sue Gray was paid £170,000

Sir Keir Starmer is paid £167,000

I'm not convinced that BBC political journalists should earn twice as much as the Prime Minister or his Chief of Staff

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

Our state schools need teachers more than private schools need embossed stationery.

Our children need mental health support more than private schools need new pools.

Our students need careers advice more than private schools need AstroTurf pitches.

Wow, this isn't just an endorsement of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz by Bruce Springsteen, it's a sermon, a song, and a love letter to America!

[Cllr.Jan Gavin @JanGavin91]

Great to be out talking to residents on a beautiful sunny morning in Caversham about what matters to them.

[Shabana Mahmood MP @ShabanaMahmood]

JUST ANNOUNCED:

This Government will launch a new body: the Women's Justice Board.

Its goal will be to reduce the number of women going to prison, with the ultimate ambition of having fewer women’s prisons.
