I'm delighted that, after supporting a couple with a long-running pension and Pension Credit issue, we've helped secure over £10,500 in backdated State Pension and Pension Credit payments.
Everyone deserves to receive the support they're entitled to, and I'm pleased we were able to help bring this case to a successful conclusion.
If you need help with an issue, my team and I are here to help.

🚨 Tintwistle Moor Wildfire Update 🚨
Firefighters and partner agencies remain on scene at Tintwistle Moor, continuing their tireless work to contain the wildfire, tackle hotspots and respond to any flare-ups.
⚠️ The A628 remains closed between the A57 Hollingworth and the A616 Flouch and is expected to stay shut until at least Monday 27 July. Please do not ignore road closures or attempt to access restricted areas – they are essential to keep everyone safe and allow emergency crews to carry out their work.
With the warm, dry weather continuing, I also urge everyone to stay away from affected moorland and avoid using BBQs, campfires or any naked flames in the countryside. Even a small action could have devastating consequences in these conditions.
This fire has now been a major incident for 11 days, and I want to thank every firefighter, volunteer and partner agency for their incredible commitment throughout this prolonged response. Your dedication to protecting our communities and our countryside is deeply appreciated. 👏🚒

🚌 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗸!
From January, Labour will introduce a new £2 national bus fare cap, helping people get around for less and putting more money back in their pockets.
I've long campaigned for better, more affordable bus services in High Peak because reliable public transport is essential for getting to work, college, appointments and seeing family and friends.
That's why I've been pushing for investment through our Mini Switzerland Project, bringing better, more integrated public transport to Hope Valley. It's also why I fought to secure the extension of free bus travel for 16–18-year-olds travelling to college in Greater Manchester to include young people from High Peak – a huge win that is already helping local families.
This new £2 fare cap is another step towards making public transport cheaper, more accessible and more reliable for everyone. 🚌🌹 ... See MoreSee Less
