1 in 10 women have experienced stalking, sexual assault or relationship abuse in the past year alone, according to the ONS. The government has set itself the mission of halving that figure in a decade. To do so, we have to make sure women’s voices are heard. (1/2)

Trans young people are the most at risk of suicide and violent crime. Shamefully, hate crimes against trans people hit a record high in 2023, and we've continued to see hate spread since then. (1/2)

We in Reading are proud of the many immigrant diasporas who have enriched our town’s economy and culture. Many immigrant families in Reading, such as Hong Kong BNO citizens, have asked me about the government’s future plans concerning indefinite leave to remain.

Happy Bonfire Night! I hope you're all enjoying some toasted marshmallows and maybe some fireworks.
As a former dog owner, I always worried about loud noises at night, and many of my constituents do too, so please be considerate and remember to finish your fireworks by midnight!

I asked George Osborne this morning why the Conservative coalition cut Sure Start centres that young families depended on. He said there was a “feeling” at the time that they weren’t cost-effective. Many families across the country would’ve “felt” differently. (1/3)
