I was keen to hear what they thought the Pensions Commission should do on understanding the impact of raising the state pension age has on building a sustainable, fair and adequate pension system, as well as its impact on entrenched inequalities.

The Education Secretary talked about reducing attainment gaps such as these, but to have the most effective SEND system it needs to be co-produced with young people with SEND and parents as well. People with lived experience must be actively engaged in this.

We know that young people with special educational needs or disabilities and who have multiple disadvantages are three times more likely to be not in education, employment or training (NEET).

On the 4th anniversary of the outbreak of war in Ukraine, Parliament is hosting an exhibition of sculptures from the members of the Royal Society of Sculptures and the deputy ambassador for Ukraine to the UK.

I was really moved by the sculptures made to depict how the war is making people feel.

We also heard from Sir Charlie Mayfield - author of the 'Keep Britain Working' report - Tessa Griffiths, CEO of Skills England, and from the German ambassador.

The conversation addressed common challenges for both countries including improving the skill levels across workforces.

Germany currently has the highest levels of employment and growth in the G7, including youth employment.

It was good to hear from large and small businesses, on their innovation in training and retaining their workforce.

As Chair of the #CommonsWorkandPensCommittee I was delighted to attend a round table discussion hosted by the German Ambassador on 'Boosting the workforce - How to tackle economic inactivity and improve skills'.

Following these conversations with residents I will be contacting the school to meet with the head and will contact residents with updates.

In June 2025 my team were invited to meet with the council and were informed there was plan to do a traffic review with proposals that would reduce high congestion of parked vehicles outside schools in St Mary’s ward.

In November 2024 I had organised a community meeting in Salem where many residents were concerned about parking particularly around schools. I wrote to the council to raise these concerns on behalf of residents.

If anyone has any issues and would like to speak to me, you can contact my office on abrahamsd@parliament.uk or 0161 624 4248

Last week I held one of my constituency surgeries at Oldham library. On average, I have four surgeries a month, where constituents raise a wide range of issues with me, which I take up on their behalf.
