Good to catch up with some familiar residents (in what was part of our old Whitley ward) & feel the early spring 🌞 on my face.

Thanks Alice and Ama for helping out @mickyleng.bsky.social in getting out our Councillor newsletter and @yuanfenyang.bsky.social's leaflet out to residents on Kennet Island today.

It's cheesy but true - we're working for Whitley All Year, Every Year.

I want to make sure that no avenue is left unexplored in my campaign for Reading FC's survival, so today I have written to the Chinese Embassy in London with my fellow Reading MPs, @mattrodda.bsky.social and @oliviabailey.bsky.social, to ask the embassy for their help in contacting the owners.

I went on a Reclaim the Night March this evening, campaigning for women's safety. Before we even got going, a man walked past shouting, "Feminists suck," and we were heckled by boys who appeared to be as young at 12/13. There's a lot still to do. #reclaimthenight #rdguk
