As the recess draws to a close, I've been making the most of my time in the constituency over the past few weeks, meeting with local organisations, visiting schools, and hearing from residents across Wokingham. Here's what else I've been up to this week:

Corridor care has hit a record high, and winter hasn't even started yet. In September, an average of more than 3,300 patients a day were treated in A&E corridors or on wards without a proper bed space. That's almost 100,000 times in a single month. 🧵

I was pleased to meet with the Chair and Trustee of the Wokingham Islamic Centre to discuss their plans for the former cinema building. It was great to hear their vision for a space that serves both as a place of worship and a hub for the wider community.

Last week, I met with carers from Age UK at the Wade Day Centre to hear about their experiences of Carer’s Assessments and to discuss how support for unpaid carers can be improved. It was valuable to learn about the challenges carers face and what changes could make a difference.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

As the Conference Recess continues, I've been out and about meeting residents, schools, charities and communities across Wokingham. From discussing support for carers and the challenges facing adult social care to hearing from students it has been a very valuable opportunity.

And why a new GP surgery is not currently being provided within the Arborfield Green development. I'll continue to press for a solution that ensures residents in Arborfield can access a GP.

000

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Last week I had a productive meeting to discuss GP provision for Arborfield's growing community. With thousands of new homes built and more planned, residents deserve clarity on how local healthcare services will meet increasing demand.

Great to attend the launch of Pints & Places last week, Portraits of Wokingham's Pubs. It was wonderful to see local artist Mohan Banerji's work celebrating Wokingham's historic pubs and the role they play in our community, while also supporting the work of Wokingham in Need.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

At the Lib Dem conference I caught up with Jo Hawley our fantastic Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Bracknell. We had the opportunity to discuss the issues affecting our communities and hear about the great work she is doing across Bracknell.

021

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I also had the pleasure of visiting Wokingham Town FC , where I was pleased to receive honorary membership. It was fantastic to learn more about the club's history, meet supporters, and celebrate their impressive 4-1 victory over Norwood!

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I then visited Oktoberfest in Peach Place, where it was interesting to learn more about the event and meet some of the volunteers and organisers who help make it happen each year.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

On Saturday, I had a great day meeting people across Wokingham. I started the day with a productive discussion with residents at California Country Park, hearing about their experiences.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

This week, I took the opportunity to raise issues affecting people here in Wokingham, at the Lib Dem Conference. I also supported local events celebrating Wokingham's landmarks and it's people, and worked on improving primary care in the area. Here's what else I've done this week:

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Enjoyed meeting with Prostate Cancer Research to discuss their work to improve earlier diagnosis, the next phase of their screening campaign and their new Prostate Progress initiative. We also discussed my Private Members Bill, and how we can improve outcomes for patients and families.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Yesterday, I Joined Surfers Against Sewage, Paddle UK, Rewilding Britain, Ed Davey and the Marine Conservation Society for a beach clean in Brighton, highlighting the importance of protecting our waterways. Great to see so many people coming together to make a difference.

Getting the right amount of fibre and vitamins is so important to children in school. This is why I made sure there was provision of free school meals during the holidays, when I was Leader of Wokingham Borough Council.

010

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Yesterday, I spoke with Kellogg’s and Warburton's at their event about concerns that school food standards will reduce the amount of fibre and vitamins pupils will get at school for breakfast.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

It was great to attend the Association of Convenience Stores’ Heart of the Community Reception in Parliament this week. The event provided a valuable opportunity to speak to store owners about the challenges and opportunities they are facing.

022

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Wokingham is home to many Ukrainians who are deeply concerned about wavering international support for their fight against Russia's invasion. In Parliament, I urged the Government to reaffirm its commitment to Ukraine, and that this would remain even if the US abandons them.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

This week I spoke with cancer charity Maggie’s to discuss society lotteries' vital role in funding services who support people living with cancer, and their families. These funds are capped, but changes to these limits could help Maggie’s and other charities help more people.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Shortfalls in the NHS workforce could prevent the Gov's targets for early cancer diagnosis from being delivered. After chairing a roundtable with the @rcradiologists.bsky.social this week, I called for a debate to resolve the NHS workforce shortfalls, so earlier diagnosis can be delivered.

111

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Cancer care is in urgent need of improvement, but the Gov's Health Bill would remove the mandate for NHS England to prioritise cancer outcomes over other cancer metrics. My amendment seeks to restore that priority and to secure a commitment from the Gov to deliver improvements.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I've heard from many residents that Govt departments have missed or ignored their accessibility needs. This is not good enough. I pressed the Govt to ensure people with accessibility needs can access services and get support at every stage of their interaction with Govt services.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

On Wednesday, I attended the NFU’s Back British Farming Day event to celebrate the work of our farmers and growers, while discussing what is needed to support the industry. It was great to see many colleagues wearing a wheatsheaf in Parliament to show support for British farmers.

021

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

On Tuesday, I contributed to a debate on the impact of the 2016 EU Membership Referendum on the UK. In the debate, I highlighted the concerns of businesses in Wokingham that have told me they once exported successfully to the EU but have since seen increased costs and reduced profits as a result.

020

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

It was interesting to see the scale of the operation and the commitment of the volunteers, many of whom work throughout the year to make the show possible. It was also a pleasure to present the prizes and see the wide range of entries, from giant pumpkins to dahlias!

000

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

On Monday, I spent time at the Swallowfield Show speaking with the organisers and volunteers to learn more about the work involved in delivering such a large community event.

121

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

In the last week, I had a great time with residents at the Twyford Village Fete and Hurst Horticultural Show. I also met with fantastic local organisations who help people in Wokingham, like Hope and Vision and the Men’s Shed. Here’s what else I’ve done this week:

011

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I also got to attend Twyford Village Fete, where it was great to see the area come together and raise money for local causes and speak to local businesses. (2/2)

000

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of attending the Hurst Horticultural Show which is an annual event that involves crafts and exhibits and baking. This year I enjoyed making an apple flan, using apples that were planted by Freely Fruity about three years ago. (1/2)

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

With Parliament in recess, I can spend more time in Wokingham meeting residents and supporting events. I recently enjoyed a great afternoon with residents at Glebelands Care Home. I've also had some days away, and I hope you're all enjoying the summer too! What else I've done:

020

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

The murder of PC Andrew Harper didn’t happen in my constituency. However, I have a very clear view that his killers should serve their whole prison sentences. The Lib Dems are calling for emergency legislation to ensure the killers of a Thames Valley policeman are exempt from early release.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

The Link Visiting Scheme do so much to support the elderly and isolated in Wokingham. At their recent event, I listened to the charity's findings on how chair yoga improves the health, mobility and confidence of elderly people. I also had a go at chair yoga myself!

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

It will require the Government to report annually to MPs on the National Cancer Plan's progress towards improving prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The Plan could save lives for years to come. Making the Government report annually will help achieve this. (3/3)

010

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

There has been a lot of political noise but, along with national cancer charities & healthcare professionals, I will be holding the Government to account. This is why my Private Members Bill is so important. (2/3)

110

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Today marks 6 months since the Government launched the National Cancer Plan, committing to improving diagnosis, treatment and outcomes for patients across the country. (1/3)

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Based nearby in Henley, HoTWater are an amazing group of volunteers who hold Thames Water to account by testing water quality in the River Thames. Their work highlights the need for Thames Water to get their act together, and to finally upgrade the Wargrave Sewage Treatment Works.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Freely Fruity are a local charity who plant fruit trees and grow fruit for communities to enjoy for free. I went to see how the 700 fruit trees have grown in Barkham since I helped plant some a few years ago. It was great to see new bee hives and a new solar-powered irrigation system.

020

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Friends of Fox Hill are a local community group who maintain access to the woodland on the edge of Woosehill and support the conservation of the ancient woodland. It was great to join the group’s volunteers to see their conservation work in action.

020

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Daisy’s Dream are a local charity who support children and young people prepare for bereavement and to navigate life after the death of a loved one. I was honoured to support their charity walk to raise funds for this vital service, which was attended by many other residents.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Very few people in politics know more about social care than Ed Davey. He is right that the current system is broken and we must put families at the centre of any reforms. After so many failed attempts, we must find a lasting consensus on social care now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The prime minister will outline his strategy on reforms, as the leader of an independent review warns the system is "fairly bust".

062

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

I welcome the government's consultation with the major opposition parties to reform social care. These efforts to reform it must succeed. That is why I commend Ed Davey’s positive and constructive approach to an issue he knows so much about.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

It was great meeting many residents at the All Saints Church Summer Fayre recently. I was blown away by the quality of some of the arts and crafts stalls. It's always great to see people at these events celebrating local causes.

030

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Recently, I joined residents and local artists at the 69th Wokingham Art Society Summer Exhibition. I had the honour of presenting an award to a very worthy winner. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet many local artists and to recognise the value of our local arts scene.

Harley and Noah, both just 16, have cycled 840km to Ireland and back to raise funds for Berkshire Women's Aid. Their determination to support women and children affected by domestic abuse is truly inspiring. I'm proud to support their incredible effort - please join me in supporting them.

I have today written to the new Justice Secretary following the news that Axel Rudakubana has been moved to Broadmoor Hospital. The families of his victims deserve answers about what has led to this decision.

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Over the last week, I’ve met many residents at surgeries I held in rural areas in the north of the constituency. I also joined great volunteer groups protecting our local environment. I’ve also had the pleasure of visiting the Wokingham Art Society Summer Exhibition. Here's what else I've done:

021

Clive Jones MP @clivejonesmp.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

I met with the General Manager for the UK and Ireland at Becton Dickinson - a leading life sciences company based in Winnersh. We had a great discussion about the pressing need to make the UK a global powerhouse in medical innovation, to benefit everyone and the economy.
