Birds of a feather …

Reading East Labour Party canvassers rescued a swan last weekend while door-knocking in Caversham. The bird was found wandering the streets and was returned to safety on the Thames.

Matt Rodda – the Labour MP for Reading East – said: “In between doorstep conversations and deliveries today our Caversham team took a break to rescue an injured swan – all in a day’s work for them!”

The majestic white swans are a regular feature along stretches of the Thames in Reading. The Labour Party has pledged billions in support of the environment and to combat global warming.
