I spoke in the House of Commons to proudly mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day — a moment to honour High Peak’s greatest generation.

Their courage and sacrifice helped secure the peace and freedoms we cherish today. We will never forget.

Only Labour can beat the Tories here in High Peak.

A vote for Greens, Lib Dems or Independent will lead to a Tory-run Derbyshire County Council.

Lots of passionate conversations — especially around parking and tourism challenges. I’m already working closely with local partners to find practical, real-world solutions that work for our community and businesses.

Thank you to everyone who came, shared their views, and helped shape the conversation. Hope to see you at the next one.

I know that trust in politicians is incredibly low and it’s not hard to see why when for years, successive Conservative governments promised that immigration would come down and then allowed it to go up.

David Cameron promised it would fall to under 100,000, Theresa May went one step further to say it would fall to the tens of thousands. After promising to bring the numbers down, Boris Johnson’s government failed to make any progress. The British people heard empty promises and only saw failure from their leaders. In 2023, inward migration reached over a million people a year.

The consequences of this are plain for all to see. Public services and housing access have been placed under too much pressure and our economy has been distorted by perverse incentives to import workers rather than invest in skills for our domestic workforce. This has tragically contributed to one in eight of our young people not being in either employment, education or training.

As a country we therefore must get out of the habit of looking first to immigration to solve skills gaps rather than training up our own. This week Labour introduced proposals to change that by linking the immigration system to skills and training requirements here in the UK. This will mean that no industry or business will be allowed to rely solely on immigration to fill the gaps in their workforce.

We will raise the skill level - stopping lower-skilled migration and ensuring we attract only the brightest and best to Britain. And businesses will be supported to invest in workplace plans, so they can map out the skills they need and build their domestic workforce sustainably.

Labour’s welfare reforms will encourage people to re-train or upskill and bodies like Skills England will work with businesses to shape technical education to meet the needs of the economy and the Growth and Skills Levy will provide businesses with the tools they need to train their own staff. Taken together, the Government’s programme will encourage investment and training in domestic skills, put more money in local people’s pockets and bring down net migration from the unsustainable levels we inherited.

Right now, new fathers in the UK get just two weeks of paternity leave — paid at a rate that’s less than half the minimum wage. That’s the lowest support across Europe. It’s no wonder so many dads are struggling.

To help highlight the need for change, I’ve teamed up with The Dad Shift and Movember to call for better paternity leave. As part of the campaign, I brought baby grows to the home of Glossop North End Afc, a brilliant local team known for its commitment to the community and men’s mental health.

These baby grows are part of a powerful national campaign appearing in meaningful locations around the country — visual reminders that something’s not right.

Here’s why it matters:

🔵 Nearly 1 in 2 new dads experience symptoms of anxiety or depression during their baby's first year.
🔵 82% of fathers say improving paternity leave would be the single most important thing the government could do to protect parents’ mental health.

Becoming a father is amazing — but it can be overwhelming, exhausting, and emotional. Without proper time and support, it can take a serious toll.

It’s time for change.

The Dad Shift is gathering real stories from dads who've faced mental health challenges — to push for better policy in the government's Men's Health Strategy. If that’s been your experience, your story could help drive progress: 👉 dadshift.org.uk/mentalhealth

The UK has the worst paternity leave in Europe — just two weeks, paid at less than half the minimum wage. That’s simply not good enough.

That’s why I’ve joined The Dad Shift campaign in collaboration with Movember to call for better paternity leave. To raise awareness, I brought these baby grows to Official Buxton Football Club’s Silverlands Stadium — a club that does so much for the local community and has been a fantastic supporter of men’s mental health.

These baby grows are part of a nationwide stunt appearing in locations all across the country — so keep your eyes peeled.

But this isn’t just a headline. Behind it are real, urgent issues:

🔴 Nearly half of new dads experience symptoms of depression or anxiety in their baby's first year.
🔴 82% of fathers say better paternity leave is the number one thing the government could do to protect parents' mental health.

I know first-hand how challenging becoming a dad can be — no matter how many times you do it.

It’s time for change!
