- Massive savings and new protections introduced for leaseholders in Northampton by our Labour Government. Lead more: www.mikereader.co.uk/mike-reader-...
- Adult social care provision in West Northamptonshire requires serious improvement. Reform UK believe that it's ok to be found wanting. It's not Almost 'Good' isn't good enough for Northampton.
- New orders in the construction supply chain increased by 9.8 per cent in the third quarter of 2025. The Plan for Change is working. Market confidence is up. Labour making a difference in Government.
- In the @coe.int Hemicycle today to hear Theodoros Roussopoulos give an absolutely brilliant final speech as President. Honoured to be here. Later today we will have the opportunity to elect our next President. I will be voting on behalf of the UK.
- Personal ambition over what's right for the country. I thought we'd left this type of politics behind in the Labour Party. Apparently not.

- Reposted by Mike Reader - Northampton SouthToday we hosted @mike-reader.bsky.social at our Nottinghamshire headquarters. We showed Mike how BGS receives, delivers and uses ground investigation and borehole data to support decision making and reduce risks in construction and infrastructure development before taking him on a tour of the site.
- Reposted by Mike Reader - Northampton SouthThe news today? Reform = backwater for Tories who failed over 14 years. 🥸 Tories = weak and divided by more psychodrama. 🤪 Labour government = waiting lists in our NHS drastically reduced and economic growth up. 🌹 @SkyNews 👇

- Absolutely phenomenal evening last night at the Progress 30th anniversary dinner with @allymcgovern.bsky.social and friends.
- The Housing Minister should take the time to get leaseholder reform right. I welcome the pressure on this from colleagues, including the Labour for Leaseholders group of which I'm a member of, but we must get this right. Rushing to put out an incomplete solution lets leaseholders down.
- From April, parents will have day-one rights to parental leave, meaning you won’t have to choose between keeping your job and being there for your child. Read more here: 👉 www.mikereader.co.uk/stronger-par...
- Reposted by Mike Reader - Northampton SouthThe message from Ed Miliband and I has been clear: energy suppliers should pass on every penny of the £150 savings to consumers this April. My update on their response ⬇️

- @roryobrien.bsky.social Hey, have you got a date for the 2026 New Year's Conference?
- Today I helped get the ban on puppy and kitten smuggling through Parliament. I was proud to speak up in support of it, closing loopholes which have allowed criminal gangs to flout our border and animals protection rules.
- The UK has a postcode lottery, where some police services provide bereavement support after road traffic accidents, and others don't. This is wrong. It's something our Government must put right. Thank you @samrushworthmp.bsky.social for bringing forward such an important debate last night.
- It was an absolute honour to join the Royal British Legion, the Sywell 1st Air The Scouts brigade and members of the community to commemorate Armed Forces Day. A very moving service, with the 149 names of people who have died in service since the second world war read out.
- Thank you to Vistry Group for the opportunity to see the technology that will go into the future homes of Northampton. With Vistry's businesses delivering a 1,000s of homes in our town, I was privileged to see behind the scenes at their innovation centre and factory just up the road in Coalville.

- How do we decarbonise our heat network and reduce energy bills?

- Yesterday, at @UKREiiF in Leeds, I hosted a roundtable with major investors on Public-Private Partnerships. Watch this video to find out what we discussed ⬇️
- The Workforce Strategy is desperately needed so that we can ensure that we are training people for jobs that we'll need in the future. On the Energy Security & Net Zero Select Committee, I asked Hugo Jones, the Deputy Director of Green Jobs about when we can expect it.
- As we aim to deliver better infrastructure across the country, Public-Private Partnerships should be the foundation of it. This is why I joined a panel for a conversation on this topic at @UKREiiF today.
- I met with the YIMBY Initiative to talk about the need for more housing, cleaner energy, and infrastructure across the UK at UKREiiF in Leeds. I look forward to continuing my work in Parliament to champion these causes.
- Had an important discussion with Grayling UK on the Industrial Strategy, the upcoming Food Strategy, and other issues important to the food & drink industry. We were joined by 20 industry representatives and I look forward to continuing my work with them. foodanddrinkfed.bsky.social
- Future jobs will require digital and technical skills, and we must prepare our young people for it. This is why I asked the Deputy Director for Green Growth at DESNEZ about their plan to train young people for jobs of the future.
- Thousands of jobs SAVED. Tariffs SLASHED. Markets OPENED. The UK’s new trade deal with the US is a game-changer and will deliver certainty and strength for British business. #PlanForChange #Trade
- As we create more jobs in the clean energy sector, we must think about how we make sure that people stay in those jobs. This is why I asked the Deputy Director for Green Growth at DESNEZ to explain how they ensure green workforce retention.
- 📈 The economy is turning a corner. With 0.7% growth, the UK is set to be the fastest-growing G7 economy in early 2025. Our #PlanForChange is working — delivering a stronger, more resilient economy for everyone.
- Putin’s shadow fleet is fuelling the war and endangering Europe’s critical infrastructure. The UK strikes back with the largest-ever sanctions package, hitting the heart of his illegal operation. #PlanForChange #StandWithUkraine

- I'm proud to launch my dedicated #SEND Hotline. If you're a parent or guardian in Northampton South needing support with SEND issues, my team is here to help. My team and I are here to support you with advice, advocacy & action.
- 80 years on, we still draw strength from the spirit of VE Day. The spirit of courage, unity and hope. Today we remember those who served, and those who gave their lives.
- Under Labour, council tax bills are £302 cheaper on average than under the Tories. Add £1.6 billion for fixing potholes and £69 billion for local services — Labour is building a fairer future. 🌹
- Tough new laws mean water bosses who cover up illegal sewage spills can now face up to 2 years in jail. This Government is delivering real accountability — and a clean-up of our waterways.
