This morning I nominated Andy Burnham to be the next Leader of the Labour Party.
Everyone knows I have been unwaveringly loyal to Keir Starmer and worked very closely with him particularly over the last year.
Under Keir's leadership, he made Labour electable again and returned us to government for the first time in 14 years. As prime minister he began the hard job of stabilising our economy and rebuilding our public services. He has strengthened workers' rights, delivered real change for renters, and taken more children out of poverty than any previous Labour Government. His leadership has changed our country for the better, and I'm grateful for his public service.
As Keir moves on, I think it is in the interests of us all that we come together and I believe Andy Burnham is the right person to build on Keir’s legacy.
I've worked closely with Andy over the years; we share many of the same beliefs and priorities.
Working alongside Andy, we secured free bus travel scheme for High Peak students studying in Greater Manchester, saving local families thousands of pounds. We set up the Peak Partnership with Claire Ward and Oliver Coppard, the mayors from South Yorkshire and the East Midlands, to collaborate on the issues that matter to us locally. And I’ve seen up close how his leadership has transformed public transport through the Bee Network, with benefits already being felt by communities like Glossop and Hadfield.
Andy knows and understands our area. I have always admired his determination to stand up for communities outside London like ours. From his time as Mayor of Greater Manchester, he brings a unique insight into what local communities need from government and understands that places like High Peak deserve better transport, stronger public services and investment that creates opportunities for all closer to home.
I believe Andy can unite our party and lead Labour and our country into the future with renewed hope and optimism.
That's why I’m backing Andy, and I'm looking forward to working alongside him to deliver for High Peak and Britain in the months ahead. ... See MoreSee Less

Buxton has everything it takes and more to be named as the UK's first Town of Culture – and I'm doing everything I can to help make that happen.
This morning I met with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy, to make the case for Buxton's bid and highlight why our town deserves this national recognition.
From our incredible heritage, stunning architecture and beautiful surroundings to world-class attractions like the Opera House, Pavilion Gardens and Devonshire Dome, Buxton already has an outstanding cultural offer. A successful bid would help put our town firmly on the national stage, attract more visitors, support local businesses and create new opportunities for our community.
I'll keep working with local partners and ministers to give Buxton the strongest possible chance of success. 🤞🎭 ... See MoreSee Less

Important information from Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service as temperatures rise this week 👇As temperatures increase so does the risk of wildfires! 🔥
When the ground and vegetation is dry, even the slightest stray spark can soon escalate to a wildfire which can tie up our resources and delay our response to life-risk emergencies.
Most wildfires are preventable. Please help reduce the risk by:
🚭 Making sure cigarettes are fully extinguished and disposed of responsibly
🥪 Having a picnic and not taking BBQs into the countryside and open spaces.
🗑️ Taking all litter home, especially glass bottles
❌ Not lighting camp fires or other open fires
Remember, if you spot a wildfire, call 999 immediately.

It's incredibly disappointing to see vandalism and anti-social behaviour at the Forest School area in Memorial Park, Whaley Bridge.
This space is there for children, families and the whole community to enjoy, and it's unacceptable that it has been damaged, with rubbish left behind and a litter bin deliberately set on fire, requiring attendance from both Derbyshire Police and Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service.
If you have any information that could help, please contact Derbyshire Police on 101 or report it online:
www.derbyshire.police.uk
You can also report anti-social behaviour or criminal damage in the park here:
