Until the very last Keir Starmer has done what he thought was the right thing for our country.
It has been a huge honour to stand with Keir Starmer in Downing Street this morning having worked so closely with him over the last 12 months. He is a decent, kind, thoughtful man.

☀️Parliament's Summer Recess is just around the corner, which means I'll be spending even more time out and about across the High Peak.
One of the best parts of being your MP is meeting the people, businesses, schools, charities and community groups that make our area such a fantastic place to live.
If you're part of a local organisation, run a business, volunteer with a community group, or know of a project you'd like me to visit this summer, I'd love to hear from you.

I look forward to meeting even more of the people who make the High Peak such a special place over the summer! 😊 ... See MoreSee Less

Update on the fire at Tintwistle Moor👇UPDATE - 17:20 hours
Our response to the Tintwistle Moor wildfire is now being scaled down.
Firefighters and partner agencies have withdrawn from the western and eastern flanks, however remain on the southern edge - close to Didsbury Intake - damping down and checking for hotspots.
The helicopter provided by United Utilities has been stood down due to incoming adverse weather conditions.
Rainfall is forecast overnight which is expected to aid our firefighting efforts.
Members of the public are reminded to please avoid the area while we continue to deal with this incident.

☀️ Hot weather safety reminder 🔥
With the sunshine continuing, it’s worth being aware that some everyday household items can unintentionally increase fire risk. Objects such as mirrors, glass ornaments, and perfume bottles left on sunny windowsills can concentrate sunlight and act like a lens.
To stay safe:
✅ Move reflective or glass items away from direct sunlight
✅ Take extra care during the brightest part of the day
❌ Avoid leaving anything that could focus light near curtains, paper, or other flammable materials
A few small precautions at home can help prevent avoidable fires. Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine responsibly this summer. ... See MoreSee Less

Firefighters returned to Tintwistle Moor at 7:00am this morning after standing down overnight as daylight faded. Crews from Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service, alongside partner agencies, are now focusing efforts on the south side of the wildfire while continuing to monitor other areas.
A huge thank you to all the firefighters, Derby Mountain Rescue Team, and everyone involved in the Peak District Fire Operations Group for their continued hard work and dedication.
⚠️ Please continue to avoid the area while emergency operations are ongoing. The Pennine Way between Crowden and Black Hill remains closed until further notice to allow aerial firefighting to take place safely.
Thank you to local residents and visitors for your continued patience and support.

As the wildfire on Tintwistle Moor continues, it's a timely reminder of how important it is that we all play our part in protecting our countryside.
Wildfires devastate precious habitats, put wildlife at risk and place enormous pressure on our emergency services. A campfire, disposable BBQ or even a discarded cigarette can be enough to start a fire with devastating consequences.
If you're out enjoying the beautiful Peak District this summer, please act responsibly:
🔥 Don't use disposable BBQs or light campfires.
🚭 Never discard cigarettes on the ground.
🚮 Take your litter home.
By taking a few simple precautions, we can all help protect our moorlands, our wildlife and the brave firefighters working tirelessly to keep us safe. Thank you. ... See MoreSee Less
