Things aren’t going in the right direction in the UK on LGBTQ+ rights. It’s important that we recognise that and start to fight for fundamental freedoms for everyone #IDAHOBIT

People joining you on the street abroad is impressive! We had an estimated 20,000 in London, on a couple of days notice, and a hugely positive reception when people saw our banners

There will be no car parking charges at Cantley this year. But as @imogensd.bsky.social has outlined, sadly we can’t guarantee no council will ever need to charge for car parking

Brits overwhelmingly back a youth mobility scheme, a win-win for the UK and Europe. Yet the Government is sticking its head in the sand, refusing to listen.

Not only would the scheme young people more opportunities, it could also give Britain a much needed economic boost.

Trudeau: He has said repeatedly, what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us. First of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state.

I’ve just spoken at #Wokingham Borough Full Council about the fantastic benefits that working with our partners in the wider community brings to residents. From the established success of the Hardship Alliance to innovations such as the Resident Reception pilots, we are able to do more together

I’m very pleased that we have a commitment from the council to visit the new Tanhouse bridge to look at the pathways to the bridge. Network Rail has left these in a very poor condition and we’d like their commitment to repair asap

A minimalist illustration showing a packaged charger box labeled "one Union one Charger." The box features an image of a blue charger with the European Union flag symbol and a USB-C cable. The scene is set within a holiday theme, with decorative Christmas trees, ornaments, and gift boxes surrounding the charger box. In the top right corner, there is a small EU flag symbol.

It’s time for THE charger.

Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.

It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!

My Emmbrook colleague Basit Alvi asks at #Wokingham Full Council about how we’re ensuring there will be enough burial spaces for our Muslim residents. The Leader updates that active planning is underway to provide more spaces
