Don’t be misled by other parties’ cherrypicked bar charts. https://t.co/BWDRl0ioNF are backing me as the candidate best placed to keep Reform out of Thames Ward. See for yourself 👇 https://t.co/llbOkpYzep
The greatest trick the super-rich ever pulled was convincing the world that they'd move abroad if we taxed them properly.
More of this in the UK please @SadiqKhan
@mikegarson Mike. I want to thank you for your incredible piano on that album. It's brought me joy for over 40 years and inspired me to keep playing inadequately and just for myself but happily.
Next week our new Public Spaces Protection Order comes into effect to make Reading a better place for you by clamping down on dog control, dog fouling, begging, street drinking and the anti-social use of e-bikes and e-scooters. Here's what you need to know about the begging condition, which will be overseen by Thames Valley Police...
Reading’s first fleet of 24 high-spec battery electric buses started carrying passengers in early February.
The new double-deckers offer a smoother and quieter ride on the busy 24/7 Reading Buses purple 17 and claret 21 routes. They also have heating and air conditioning using heat pumps, comfy high back seats, two multi-use wheelchair and buggy bays, free WiFi and wireless phone charging.
The Council worked with Reading Buses to secure £4.7m government funding to help buy the new fleet and install charging stations at the bus depot. Another eight electric buses are due to start operating on the yellow 26 route in the summer following a further £1.3m of funding from the Department for Transport.
Reading Buses already has one of the most eco-friendly fleets in the country and these additional electric buses will support the Council’s aims of reducing carbon emission and improving air quality in the town.
We attended the electric buses launch event at Great Knollys Street in early February.

National borrowing is falling faster than expected.
Inflation is down.
Interest rates are falling.
Real wages are improving.
And the U.K. is the fastest growing of the wealthiest countries in Europe.
Step by step, we’re getting our economy back on track.
Campaigning for Angeliki Stogia in Gorton and Denton.
Politics goes through phases. This phase is of stark choices: here a choice between a Tommy Robinson-backed Reform candidate who thinks people born here aren't British, and a Labour candidate bringing communities together.
@LordWalney Not a fair comparison John, Starmer won a GE with a huge majority less than two years ago. Brown deposed a Labour PM to become Prime Minister himself.
Supercharged legacy Labour-hating media (Express, Mail, Telegraph) plus certain socials (this one is the worst obviously) plus story-hungry political editors whose appetite for drama grew during Tory leadership changes and now must be sated.
So just me and Keir Starmer's mam that don't understand the public's PURE HATRED for him. I get the u-turns and the winter fuel mess were annoying, but after 14 yrs of tory I find it hard to dislike this govt, I think a lot of the hate is fuelled by the media...🤔? Just me then😬
@OzKaterji@natalieben What I don't understand is someone making the very important decision to take redundancy and retire on the basis of a vague notion of their retirement date and not thoroughly researching the matter first.
Kallas: "No great power in history has ever outsourced its survival and survived."
Damn right.
I'd rephrase it slightly: "No great power in history has ever outsourced its survival, period."
