I am proud to represent Pendle in Parliament. As a Labour MP I fight for changes that are important to local people and work hard to build a fairer and more equal Britain.
My website gives you the opportunity to learn more about what I am doing in Westminster and in Pendle on your behalf. You can sign up for my regular emailed newsletter that will keep you informed of my work in Westminster and my ‘campaigns’ more locally.
But, above all I want to hear from you. I want to hear your views and opinions to guide my work to make Pendle and Britain a better place to live for everyone. Contact details, including individual surgery details, can be found in the Contacts section of the website.
Feel free to contact me today to make sure that your voice is heard.
Thanks for visiting.
