Over the past few weeks, the Prime Minister, Health Secretary, Home Secretary, Local Government Secretary, Northern Ireland Secretary, the opposition leader, opposition deputy leader and shadow transport minister have all visited Derbyshire.
They’ve made visits to go leafleting and go to businesses and vaccination centres with candidates for local council elections and also Police and Crime Commissioner candidates for the county and city.
All of this has been aimed at boosting the hopes of the respective candidate for each party, primarily the Conservatives and Labour.

Conservative candidate Jill Mortimer secured 15,529 votes, while Labour hopeful Dr Paul Williams won 8589. Her total number of votes was 51.88% of those cast, and represented 6940 more votes than her Labour competitor received. Labour sources say Sir Keir Starmer will “take responsibility for these results”, but took a thinly veiled swipe at his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn, adding the party “has not changed nearly enough for voters to place their trust in us”. Under Corbyn’s leadership Labour won Hartlepool with 15,464 votes, with their vote share down by about 14%. A major electoral change since then has been the collapse of support for the Brexit Party/Reform UK, which won 25.8% of the vote in 2019.
