The risk of wildfires is still incredibly high, and one careless disposable BBQ can have devastating consequences.

I’ve written to supermarkets asking them to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs while the risk remains so high, so far Sainsbury’s and Co-op have responded. We all have a part to play in protecting our countryside, wildlife and local communities.

Please do your bit and choose a safer alternative. 🌿🔥
📢 The consultation has now closed, and my petition signed by over 4,400 people has been formally submitted. Thank you to everyone who signed – I'll keep fighting to save Glossop Tip. ♻️💚
🔥 I joined LBC today to make the case for supermarkets across the UK to suspend the sale of disposable BBQs while we face another dangerous wildfire season.

High Peak is the constituency most at risk of wildfires, and we've seen first-hand the devastation these fires cause to our countryside, wildlife and emergency services.

Some retailers have already acted locally. Now it's time for supermarkets nationwide to do the same.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped to say hi at my supermarket surgery in Buxton yesterday.
🎆 Earlier this year, I spoke in a Westminster Hall debate on the sale of fireworks to raise the concerns that so many High Peak residents have shared with me.

During the debate, I highlighted the campaign led by my constituent, Robert Branch, whose petition helped bring this issue before Parliament. As a fellow dog owner, I know just how much distress irresponsible firework use can cause for pets, as well as veterans, young children and others in our communities.

I'm pleased the Government has now launched a consultation on fireworks legislation, and I hope as many people as possible will take the opportunity to have their say.

A huge thank you to our incredible firefighters, gamekeepers and everyone working around the clock to keep people safe.

Please continue to avoid affected areas and follow official advice.
I raised my campaign to ban the sale of disposable BBQs on BBC Politics East Midlands.

It looks like Reform are against taking the necessary steps to protect our communities, firefighters and our countryside.

I joined BBC Politics East Midlands to discuss High Peak Borough Council's decision to close Carelink.

I will continue meeting with the council and discussing alternate options available for service users.

🎙️ I  joined Craig on High Peak 1  today to talk about the devastating wildfire on Tintwistle Moor and what more we need to do to protect our countryside.

High Peak is the most vulnerable area in the UK to wildfires, and with hotter, drier summers becoming more common, we must do everything we can to reduce the risk.

A huge thank you once again to our firefighters, gamekeepers, farmers, volunteers and everyone who are working tirelessly to tackle this fire and protect our communities.

Please continue to play your part:
🔥 Don't use disposable BBQs on our moorlands
🚯 Take your litter home
🚭 Dispose of cigarettes safely
📞 If you spot a wildfire, call 999 immediately
A major incident is in place following the wildfire at Tintwistle, with firefighters returning to the scene today as smoke continues to drift across parts of Greater Manchester.

Please avoid the area where possible and follow any advice from the emergency services.

A huge thank you to Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service, gamekeepers, farmers, volunteers and everyone who has worked tirelessly to tackle this incredibly challenging fire and keep our communities safe.

Thinking of everyone affected, and wishing those still on the ground a safe return home.

Too many young people have been locked out of work for too long.

That's why Labour is introducing a new Youth Jobs Grant, helping young people into work, apprenticeships and training by giving employers the confidence to create more opportunities.

We're backing the next generation with opportunity, not leaving them behind. 🌹
