I’ll be meeting all of the potential candidates, but I know how important it is to live somewhere to understand the issues people face, so I’m pleased that in David we can compare a local candidate against others seeking our support.

I’m really pleased an excellent local candidate is standing for the Parliamentary selection.

Already, almost twice as many people have signed a petition calling for a General Election as elected Liz Truss. The Conservatives have no answers and are just making us all poorer with their chaos and bad decisions.

I’m continuing to push for better working conditions and support for carers to help their recruitment, but it’s good to know that improvements are being made to help as many people as possible with the staff we have.

Everywhere is suffering from a lack of staff, especially in social care, and it’s something people often raise with me.

It was a real pleasure to meet Angela and Dan at the health and care ‘hub’ at the Cavendish Hospital to find out about the developments in High Peak, including a GP home visiting service and a rapid response nursing and therapy team.

I look forward to taking part in the process to ensure we have an excellent candidate who will make sure we again have an MP who does their best to reduce poverty, support our local services, and make our area - and our country - a fairer, kinder and better place to live.

I’ve found I can do more of that in my role on the council. And I also love being able to spend more time with my teenagers, my grandson, and am looking forward to my granddaughter being born early next year 😊.

The part of politics that I love most is being able to help people, to support our brilliant local organisations and businesses, and to hold the Conservatives in Derbyshire to account for the impact on local people of their cuts and outsourcing.

Many people have asked me if I will stand for Parliament again, and I thank everyone who has shown me support and appreciation for the work I did in Parliament, and do now as County Councillor.

I have never been so proud as when I was elected to serve as Member of Parliament for my own community, and especially to be able to stand up for High Peak and for people who had been impoverished and disempowered by the Conservative government.

The process for selecting Labour’s candidate to fight the next General Election is beginning. Over 1,000 Labour Party members in High Peak will each be able to vote in a process lasting 6 weeks.

Labour’s Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves used to work at the Bank of England, is eminently sensible and will give us the stability we need to grow our economy sustainably, so that everyone benefits, not just the richest.

Tory austerity, the hard Brexit deal and billions wasted on failed contracts and loans written off have left UK finances precarious.
