Had a lovely evening at the Council AGM last night. So proud to be a part of the 2018 councillor intake with these phenomenal women 🌹❤️

This Labour government has already reduced knife murders by 18%. We’ll keep pushing to make our streets safer.

The 'Golf Club' development is getting there. It was a controversial application at the time & with feelings (understandably) running high. It is now providing good affordable family homes. I hope most residents would now agree it's a decent development. 👍

After mocking Robert Jenrick, "If he was was chocolate he would lick himself" David Lammy eviscerates Robert Jenrick over the 14 years of Conservative underfunding which saw the prison system fall onto it's knees Pointing out that under Jenrick's watch there were 17 mistaken

More town hall chaos under Reform 👇

Reform are just another shade of Tory blue. We’re working for every last vote to stop the divisive nationalists and deliver renewal for Caerphilly.

Rupert ran Southampton... Into administration. He fails to mention that the Football Governance Bill was the culmination of the fan led review, which consulted football fans across the country about the future of the game. I trust fans before I trust Rupert any day.

Cllr Princess Bright, 29, the youngest female mayor in London, is already making waves in and beyond her borough, with a passion to represent everyone regardless of their demographic differences.

I’m going to be doing a bit of chain wearing this year but have great fellow Coley Ward Cllrs @CllrLizTerry @EllieEmberson to help take the strain.

"This year has been a success. Glenn has had a relentless schedule, he did this all without his beloved Colette. He was an excellent chair of council meetings, like all meetings you were fair and prudent. Luke, thanks for being escort, snapping photos or bringing laughter."

Ellie: "Your legacy is of a borough more joined up. Your legacy is a borough more listened to. Thank you for your service, we are all so proud of you." Glenn: Serving as mayo has been the greatest honour of my life, I want to say a heartfelt thank you for making it a joyful year.

Councillor Alice Mpofu-Coles has been elected as Mayor of Reading for the 2025/26 term. Councillor Paul Gittings has been elected as Deputy Mayor.

Another #rdguk AGM… Another glass ceiling smashed with our first refugee mayor in @DrAMpofuColes preceeding our first black mayor in @Glenn_Dennis with our @ColeyLabour own, @paulgittings deputy mayor for the upcoming municipal year. Onwards! 🌹❤️

Nigel Farage was a part-time MEP, he’s a part-time MP for Claxton, and he’s a part-time reform leader. The only thing he does full time is grift.

It is 19 days since Reform won control of Kent County Council and we still do not have a Cabinet in place. Vital policy areas like Highways and Children’s services are too important to be left to drift like this.
