First elected to the House of Commons on the 27th of August, 2020.

The Democratic Socialist Party and Number 10
When the DSP held its leadership election, Reed came in a shared second with Lisa Elliot, with Rebecca Long-Bailey winning the election. After losing the election, Reed ran to be re-elected in the collective leadership, He came in first with 47% of the votes. There were 9 candidates in total. When Rebecca Long-Bailey became Prime minister, he kept his role as Chancellor of the Exchequer. As chancellor he introduced the Social Equality Act, although it passed the House of Commons it failed to pass the House of Lords twice sparking debate within the People First Coalition if the House of Lords should be reformed or even abolished. On the 27th of October when the Social Solidarity Party betrayed the Democratic Socialist Party and the People First Coalition, and entered a coalition with the Conservative Party. Reed finally moved away from Berkshire and Surrey due to it being SSP territory. He decided to move to Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, where he ran to become a member of parliament for the constituency of Derbyshire Dales.

On November 7th when the Democratic Socialist Party lost the general election, Reed, having been Chancellor of the Exchequer for almost 3 months, was appointed the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. On the 12th of November following a landslide victory for the DSP and the PFC, Reed was once again appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer by newly elected Prime Minister James Bell. When Rebecca Long-Bailey resigned, Reed ran in the election to try and become leader of the Democratic Socialist Party, but came in second, losing to Comrade Koupetorska. After losing the election, Reed was appointed deputy leader of the Democratic Socialist Party on the 21st of November. On the 10th of December, Joseph Reed resigned as Chancellor of the Exchequer. He was replaced by Arsene Wenger OBE. On the 17th of December, when Prime Minister Comrade Koupetorska resigned, Reed was nominated to be his successor.

Prime Minister
Joseph Reed became the 25th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the 4th Prime Minister from the Democratic Socialist Party, on the 18th of December 2020. The bill to make him Prime Minister passed the House of Commons with 82 ayes and 11 nays. Reed's first act as Prime Minister was to pass the British Gas Act 2020 - The nationalisation of British gas. Another major act that determined Reed's first term was the impeachment of Lord Alex Reichiv-Gustova. The third major bill co-sponsored by Reed was The Formation of a National Investment Bank. Reed's re-election chances were threatened when the Liberal Democrats and the Social Liberal Party almost left the PFC coalition. Not much happened during Reed's second term but one major bill passed was The Treaty of Columbia (Repeals) Act 2021 ending the alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States after the US Secretary of State called the UK "fake allies". Reed's third term was very quiet but, The Labour Party left the PFC at the end of it due to not being happy with the results of the PFC PM Candidate election, and not liking the fact that they were looked at like a puppet of the DSP. After Reed stopped being Prime Minister, he took a break from the game for a month.

Life after Number 10
After resigning as Prime Minister, Reed returned to the House of Commons as a backbencher. During Reed's former Chancellor, Arsene Wenger's premiership, Reed was offered peerage by the Prime Minister but he decided to turn it down and stay in the House of Commons. Near the end of Wenger's premiership, Reed was appointed Secretary of State for Work & Pensions and once again returned to the frontbenches. After Prime Minister Wenger's resignation, James Georges was elected Prime Minister. During Georges' premiership, Reed served as Secretary for Digital Culture Sports and Media. After the Labour Party (UK) and the Northumbrian Independence Party rejoined the PFC, long time friend of Reed, Dennis Skinner was elected Prime Minister. During Skinner's premiership, Reed served as Secretary for Homeland Security.

Work in the Democratic Socialist Party after retirement
After Joseph Reed came back from his retirement, he started working on a Party Constitution for the Democratic Socialist Party which was finished on the 4th of April 2021. Besides working on the DSP constitution, Reed also worked on convincing the Northumbrian Independence Party, The British Labour Party and the Communist Party of Britain to rejoin the People First Coalition. The time after the NIP, Labour and CPB rejoined, instability rocked the PFC. There were leaks and accusations. Insults were thrown at Reed's friends such as when the leader of the Social Liberal Party called the NIP treasurer Grace Blakeley a "Noise box". During this time, several members of the DSP including Reed were accused by the DSP leadership of wanting to coup DSP chair Remco de Jong, despite Reed and Remco being long time friends. This however turned out to be false and things were soon cleared up. After having completed the party constitution and after being accused of wanting to coup the party, Reed resigned from the Collective Leadership of the DSP and decided to stay a backbencher. Before resigning from the Collective Leadership, Reed helped his friend Steven Gerrard be elected Deputy Leader of the DSP, the same position he had held months before.
