Been getting the word out in Kentwood about Cllr Mark Keeping and Olivia Bailey today

We are unapologetically all about the local elections this week with candidates from Berks, Dorset, Oxford and Reading debating cuts & efficiency & innovation. #PoliticsSouth from 10 on BBC1 south.

It was a pleasure to join the Kennet river keepers, Action for the River Kennet and the Angling Trust today at their protest against sewage.

It’s time to get tough on failing water companies.

Watch my speech below 👇

Good luck to everyone running today!

Today's Politics South is at 10am with Peter Henley and on iplayer.

The fragility of council budgets after a lost decade shouldn't be ignored and it affects all of us.

It was great to have a serious discussion about the context we're going into the local elections in.

It was great to have Matt Rodda with us in Thames ward this afternoon. We met lots of friendly locals. Lots of support for #Labour .

Good chats - always listening to residents in Whitley. Lots of support for re-electing Micky leng, people appreciate the effort he puts in all year round.

It’s fantastic that in Sadiq Khan London has a Mayor who understands the negative impact of the climate crisis on Londoner’s happening right now and taking practical action to combat it. Our members are knocking on doors and picking up phones to campaign to get him re-elected.

Did you know that we have a real chance to elect Tim Starkey as our first Labour Police and Crime Commissioner for the Thames Valley on 2nd May?

I've known Tim for years and he'd be great - here's a short clip from him:

Green Park 'Bankside L&Q' this morning for Newsletter drop.
Then, it is off to Lulworth to check in with residents.
Really pleased with the feedback.

The Thames Water situation is a scandal. The mess that Thames Water is in means democratic public ownership is difficult but it seems to me the only long term answer to the crisis in our water companies.

The only European states which are not signatories to the ECHR are Belarus and Russia. That's the club that the Tories and Reform would have us join.
