Robert Largan: Cutting Council Tax would do more to level up than cutting Corporation Tax

We need to look seriously at how our tax system works and whether the burden is spread fairly across the whole country.

By Robert Largan | 18 January 2021 | 27 comments

Barry Lewis: Our cultural heritage can be uncomfortable – but destruction is the wrong response

Thousands have signed rival petitions to save, or remove, an early 19th century, Grade II* listed, pub sign in a Derbyshire town.

Barry Lewis: Local government will never return to business as usual

In Derbyshire, we have learnt to have a confident approach, not one wrapped in overly cautious, bureaucratic, risk-averse practice.

Leigh Higgins: Being a councillor has given me the practical experience to be an effective MP

In Chesterfield, people want to know about tackling potholes, safeguarding social care, and protecting the local High Street and local pubs.

By Leigh Higgins | 29 November 2019

The local elections revisited: an analysis of results in the East Midlands

Labour had some startling setbacks – it was usually the independents who benefitted. Elsewhere we saw Conservative losses to the Lib Dems.

Barry Lewis: In Derbyshire, we have not allowed the Left to hijack the climate change debate

Adaption and technological solutions must be part of a practical response. Just passing motions proposing unrealistic targets is meaningless.

Barry Lewis: In Derbyshire, our message of backing Brexit helped us in the local elections

There appears to be a correlation between Conservative success and a stance that shows you support the democratic wishes of the people.

By Barry Lewis | 9 May 2019 | 7 comments

Lee Rowley: Killamarsh Conservatism – the reason North East Derbyshire bucked the trend in last week’s elections

Our approach, and our message, won the backing of communities which have previously only ever voted Labour. It can work elsewhere, too.

By Lee Rowley MP | 7 May 2019 | 21 comments

Our survey. A record total of nearly eight out of ten Party members say that May should announce now that she will resign.

The voluntary Party has lost confidence in the Prime Minister. Is anyone listening around the Cabinet table?

Barry Lewis: We Derbyshire Conservatives will take no part in European elections that should not be taking place

Local Conservative candidates bear the brunt of the Prime Minister’s failure to fulfil her Brexit pledge. Her decision to work with Corbyn was the last straw.

By Barry Lewis | 19 April 2019 | 155 comments

Barry Lewis: The Conservatives are delivering for Derbyshire

A record number of 68,000 potholes were repaired in 2018. The new model will mean even better performance and efficiency in the future.

By Barry Lewis | 11 February 2019 | 8 comments

Dan Pegg: Teamwork was key to winning in South Derbyshire

As a council by-election candidate, I had the backing of a campaign manager, an assistant campaign manager, the local MP, and the sitting councillors… I won.

By Dan Pegg | 23 November 2018

Alex Dale: In defence of localism – how proposed fracking changes offend core Conservative values

We have a civic duty to uphold and defend our collective natural inheritance. The planning system is not flawless but it has an important role.

By Alex Dale | 30 July 2018 | 21 comments

The Brexit negotiation. Raindrops keep falling on May’s head. But that doesn’t mean her eyes will soon be turning red.

Yes, the negotiation may break down. But some of the playing to the gallery has a ritual element about it, not unlike the staged theatrics of all-in wrestling.

By Paul Goodman | 1 March 2018 | 488 comments

Sophie Sandor: You want better state schools? Then let them make a profit.

If everyone had the opportunity to attend a private school then, by definition, they couldn’t be elite.
