Yesterday in Parliament, I joined campaigners from The Dad Shift, On The Tools and Movember to discuss the need for better paternity leave.
Today’s Budget announcement means self-employed dads will be able to access paternity pay for the first time, worth up to £388.64 per qualifying parent.
That could make a difference to around 80 self-employed dads in High Peak every year.
For too long, self-employed fathers, including tradespeople, have faced a difficult choice when their baby arrives: take time off to be with their family and lose income, or return to work straight away.
I’ve been campaigning for better paternity leave because every dad deserves the chance to be there for their new-born without facing financial hardship.
This announcement is an important step forward, but there’s more to do. I’ll keep pushing for improvements to paternity leave so every dad has the time and support to be there for their family when it matters most.
Thank you to The Dad Shift, On The Tools and Movember for their continued work to make this happen. ... See MoreSee Less

🔥 The devastating wildfires we saw across High Peak this summer must be a wake-up call.
On Tintwistle Moor, we’ve seen first-hand how quickly wildfires can destroy precious landscapes, threaten wildlife and put communities at risk.
As climate change increases the risk of extreme weather, we need action to protect the places we love and prepare for the challenges ahead.
The National Trust is calling on the Government to make climate resilience a national priority, invest in nature and give Fire and Rescue Services the funding and equipment they need to tackle wildfires.
I’m backing calls for action to protect our countryside, our communities and future generations.
