Despite how often the country argues about tax, there’s actually a strong cross-party consensus that the UK’s long and outdated tax code is in much need of improvement – and there’s even agreement about what some changes could do to simplify tax and improve growth.

Today, we join in silence to honour those who sacrificed everything for our country and our rights. We must never take the freedoms that we enjoy today for granted.

Today the House of Commons chamber is closed to over-18s – because it’s being used by the UK Youth Parliament!

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)

Solidarity with all Sheffield Wednesday fans, who, like Reading fans, have had to put up with bad management. I hope that Wednesday going into administration will be the first step in making sure that it has a sound long-term future. (1/2)

“Let down by the system and constantly feeling tired of fighting a never-ending battle.”

That’s how, one of my constituents, Megan, described her experience of the SEND system to me. Last month I held a consultation on SEND, which was attended by over 60 parents, children and practitioners.

Too many residents in our constituency are paying high property management fees. I led a meeting in Parliament questioning Jonathan Smith, the CEO of Trinity Property Group, which manages Shinfield Gardens and Shinfield Meadows in our constituency.

We need more room for GPs to expand in south and east Reading! I went to speak to our regional head of NHS Property Services in Parliament last week to discuss what I can do to help grow GP surgeries and healthcare centre access our constituency. What’s been your experience of your GP surgery?

The best part about supermarket surgeries has got to be using the tannoy system – as well as all the surprising and fun conversations! Thanks to everyone who popped by to say hello in Morrison’s last week!

Reading will receive over £1 million to help end homelessness and rough sleeping.

As we head into the winter months, this money will make a huge difference for people who would otherwise be left out in the cold.
Labour announced an £84 million cash injection to prevent homelessness and support homeless families over the winter on World Homeless Day.

Two years on from October 7, as we mark the worst attack on Jewish people since the Holocaust, I would recommend reading this piece by Sharone Lifschitz, whose parents were taken as hostages on that awful day.

Two years after 7 October and the kidnap of my parents, hate is in fashion. For all our sakes, we need compassion | Sharone Lifschitz
So many were killed – yet on her release, my mother said ‘shalom’ to her captors. Let’s learn from that moment of grace, says Sharone Lifschitz, London-based film-maker and academic

Women are now 46% of the Parliamentary Labour Party – partly as a result of the work of Labour Women's Network, who gave me the support and training I needed to put myself forward. I was really glad to pay that support back by speaking at their rally at the Labour Party Conference!
