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 🌹❤️ – at Reading, England
@ColeyLabour is now on Instagram and we’ve posted some throwback pics 👋🏼 will be sure to upload some great content of @paulgittings in the deputy mayor chain 🤭 do give us a follow to keep updated!

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! 🌹❤️
Blows my mind to see @reading_greens vote against bus lanes/active travel schemes (?!) & then merrily cycle in said bus lane in high-vis Green Party branding & attend council meetings saying we’re not doing enough for the climate agenda 🤭
Thanks to all staff for another, busy year 🎄❤️

🧵 I’m moving house because I hate spaces where we cannot have #HopeNotHate and everyone should be au fait with this campaign 👇🏼 women always take the flack, especially in politics, especially on social media. Goodbye @elonmusk 🚀👋

I recently opened up. Ngl it was not easy but I’m proud of so many women I have met in #politics especially those that stand alongside other women at Reclaim the Night
Thanks for covering it @jamesAjourno

Many of us jumping ship to @bluesky thanks to masculine toxicity… but before we all do… our @RDGLabourCllrs last night at Reclaim Our Streets 2024 🤍🌙

A pleasure! So grateful to you all for hosting and as a self confessed 👵🏼 (only one year left of @YoungLabourUK 🥹) big up to the exec for a great event, such a great session and I’m here always for Qs for anyone wanting to stand ‼️❤️
Thank you to everyone who joined our Young Councillor Q&A this evening - you all asked brilliant questions!
And a special thank you to our panel of formidable councillors: @ShanikaMahendr1, @EllieEmberson, @ajfreeney and @MsGrgaMeadows - your insight was invaluable 👏
#ColeyMeadows matter to Coley / Southcote / RDG residents. Thank you to Matt & @CllrJennis. I’m a well known #YIMBY but this land cannot be built on (flood plain). We’ve been here before and @CllrLizTerry and @paulgittings remember that well …..! 😊
Thanks to @LengMicky also who has been down there with me, council staff and of course the wellies 👍

We were also noted in a Sun article but I do not want to be promoting the S*n on my socials 😊 do get in touch with @RDGLabourCllrs if you or loved ones are struggling. We are here to help with the cost of living.

@ColeyLabour councillors Christmas came early. We are so lucky to have our regular residents. This resident (who we have done casework for since we were all elected) got up bright & early to get us all some biscuits as she knew we wouldn’t be at her local centre next month ❤️🎄🥮
Don’t forget we have @ColeyLabour councillor surgery tomorrow. Usual time and place. We look forward to seeing residents 😊 team coley:- @CllrLizTerry @paulgittings @MattRodda and me with many other activists (pictured) 📸
Speech below 👇🏼 I had to trim for X … thanks to Dad for recording from work my #Lab24 speech ❤️
#LabourConference2024 … by far my toughest speech (cheers for the boos at the back ‘comrades’) anyway me and my @ReadingYL pals had a great time… Ellie on the telly with @ajfreeney - two young councillors doing their best for #rdguk or as we say… The Ding ❤️ (1/2)
We’re out all year round delivering newsletters, knocking doors @ColeyLabour @paulgittings @CllrLizTerry 🌹
This morning I spoke to @BBCBerkshire @philmercer on why I spoke in favour of our government at #Lab24 and why I was wearing my #ReadingFC shirt. Well spotted @Farrardise … Candid politicians answer here 🤭 time for some rest… Like many it seems I have the conference flu 🤧
I hear you. My council has led on heating homes, supporting all those vulnerable people for decades with dedicated staff. This isn’t young vs old. This is called being fiscally prudent and being patient - I look forward to @RachelReevesMP budget, change begins
