Busy weekend! Thank you party for volunteers who helped get us elected on Saturday and yesterday headed to the new office to start getting organised.
I will be an approachable MP and will post official contact details as soon as they are set up.
A good day for the Lib Dems in Wokingham. Gained 5 seats from the Conservatives now "No overall control". The Conservatives lost their majority for the first time in 20 years.
Had there been a general election in Wokingham today I think I would have beaten John Redwood
This is it. Wokingham will choose its next MP in a matter of weeks. I need your help. Our first election leaflet is already printed and at our campaign office ready to be delivered. Volunteer to help deliver here:
Proud to have voted to scrap the two-child benefit cap. Too many children in Wokingham are growing up in poverty and this draconian policy of the last Conservative government is the cause for many families. Disappointed in the Labour government for voting to keep it.
Great to be out canvassing this morning in Wokingham with

. They will be publishing their tactical voting advice on Mon 17 June at . Their current poll shows Wokingham as a 2 horse race between the Lib Dems and Conservatives.
This is absolutely fantastic news for
#ReadingFC
, it’s loyal fans, and the local community.
The training ground being included in a potential sale is also hugely important for the club’s future.

Thank you for the well wishes over the last couple of days. Happy to report I’m recovered and looking forward to getting back out and meeting as many people as possible. I’ll be in Wokingham market this morning 10-11. Come over for a chat!
Don't think Rishi Sunak was aware that a boat filled with Lib Dems popped up behind him on the campaign trail today...
And I'm pretty sure that's the Lib Dem Deputy Leader, Daisy Cooper on it too...
It has been a difficult week for the country, but I am proud of the way Wokingham has come together instead of being driven apart. This is what I have been doing with people from all walks of life around the constituency this week.
In Wokingham today.
@CliveJones4Wkm
and the team are doing an incredible job. Diamonds everywhere and buzzing campaign. All power to you! 💪🏻 not long to go!
Another excellent day. Door knocking and spending time on the Liberal Democrat stall in the market. In the afternoon I was honoured to be invited to the family Eid celebration and then to the Reading Hongkongers Community Centre: Candidate Forum.
I joined
@JoannaLumleyUK
&
@LibDem
colleagues in pledging my commitment to achieving a ban on trophy hunting. There was public outcry when Cecil the lion was killed by an American in 2015, but approximately 100 lions have since been shot by UK trophy hunters.

Was honoured to be invited to the manifesto launch today. I’m really proud of this document. Everyone should read it!
It has a plan to fix the NHS, tackle the cost of living crisis and clean up our rivers (and many other great things).
⌛ More than 330,000 children are waiting to receive mental health support, the
@LibDems
have warned, with average wait times in some areas of well over a year
We can’t fix the NHS without fixing social care. Ed Davey understands this more than most as he has spent nearly his whole life as a carer, as a young carer for his mum and as the father of a disabled child.
Watch his emotional interview here.
'One of my biggest fears in life is what happens to him when I'm gone.'

When I was leader of
@WokinghamBC
, I made sure we were able to provide holiday meal vouchers for those children growing up in poverty in our borough.
As an MP I will fight to take this further and make sure all primary children get fed at school.
Everywhere I go across our United Kingdom, I meet people working hard and caring for loved ones.
But too often they are being let down. Carers not getting the support they need. Cancer patients forced to wait.
We have to change things.
I hope that in the coming weeks and months terms can be agreed, and a new owner is willing and capable of making significant investment in the club leading to a bright future for Reading Football Club.

Thank you Helen and Niall. It is clear that in Wokingham it’s us or the Conservatives. I will be a full-time, hardworking, local MP who will fight for a fair deal for Wokingham.
Helen and Niall say "Like Carol, we've done the numbers in Wokingham and are voting Lib Dem on the 4th of July."
Only the Conservatives or Lib Dems can win in Wokingham. Please make your vote count. The vote for change is for CLIVE JONES, Lib Dem.

Delighted to visit today and give a little help to the volunteers building the new sensory garden at Wokingham Hospital, which will be a haven for patients, staff and visitors.
Today it was being dressed to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
Lots of excellent conversations with Wokingham constituents today. People are fed up of this Conservative government running down the NHS, not taking action on the cost of living crisis and allowing the dumping sewage into our rivers.
We need a fair deal for Wokingham.
Lovely morning chatting with people and sampling some local treats at the Great British Food Festival at Dinton Pastures. Followed by some excellent doorstep conversations in Norreys and Wescott wards.
Now to head home to cheer on England! 🏴
The government forced care homes to take new residents from hospital without a Covid19 test from 3rd April. This resulted in the virus being transmitted to care homes and many vulnerable people. That’s why there have been so many deaths in some Care Homes. Boris, apologise!
A full day of campaigning yesterday.
Lord Chris Fox joined me with Council Leader Stephen Conway this morning, Andrew was also with us.
This afternoon it was former Twyford councillor Dee Tomlin who came all the way from Worcester and new local councillor Martijn.
Last weekend of the GE campaign, in Wokingham delivering with team

@CliveJones4Wkm
‘s campaign to kick the Tories out. Good luck to them on polling day, let’s turn Wokingham and the rest of Berkshire yellow!
This bank holiday weekend, everyone should be able to enjoy our beautiful beaches. Yet once again we’re seeing sewage being discharged at some of our most popular sites.
@LibDems
demand better and want to crack down on this disgusting practice.
I'm speaking up for babies in Wokingham. As
@ParentInfantFdn
warns, more toddlers are missing key developmental targets. Every child deserves the best possible start in life, no matter their background or personal circumstances.
Conservatives voted against our Lib Dem proposals in Wokingham to cut the time that children & Adolescents with mental health issue have to wait for assessment. Currently 9-12 months, our proposal would have meant a max of 6 weeks.
Labour abstained, can you believe this?
House of Commons votes against Amendment 51 to the
#MentalCapacityBill
by 300 to 249.
This amendment would have broadened the provision of advocacy, ensuring that advocates are provided as a default unless the cared-for person does not want one.
Remember you have until 5pm today to apply for free voter ID, which you can do online here:
You also have until 5:30 to apply for a proxy vote (where someone votes on your behalf if you can’t get to the polling station.
Too many families feel unsafe in their own homes because the Conservatives have decimated community policing.
Our burglary response guarantee would ensure every break-in is attended and properly investigated and that nobody is left forgotten.

JR still supports the Tories,cant stand Sunak, told everyone on social media when he supported Liz Truss. Followed Sunak in the Boris vote.
Told Wokingham News,"I did not agree with the report which did not provide convincing evidence of its main conclusions"
Lib Dem’s have had a fantastic time in Earley. We won 3 Borough council seats from the Conservatives and gained 16 on Earley Town Council which we now control with 21 of the 25 seats. Labour and the Conservatives have 2 each.
Great result for the Lib Dem’s in Wokingham in the local elections. John Redwood should now be concerned.
Lib Dem’s now have 16 seats, labour have 4, the Independents have 3 and the Conservatives have 31. The Conservatives will loose control of the council in 2020😀
