I am hugely grateful for the opportunity to serve NE Derbyshire for the last seven years. It has been amazing! My congratulations to Louise, the new MP From me, thank you to everyone across the constituency for their help, support and work It has been a genuine privilege

NE Derbyshire: it's been an absolute privilege over the last few weeks to talk about our future. Whatever happens tonight: thank you. It has been the privilege of my life to represent you - and I hope I might be able to do it again. Now: onto the count!

🌦️ We saw it all yesterday in North East Derbyshire - sun, cloud and finally rain - but it didn’t stop us 🙄 🗞️ A pleasure to be out supporting @Lee4NED in his re-election bid along with @CllrSamuelC_A. #localgovfamily

We had a wonderful visit from @Lee4NED this morning! He spoke to the children in assembly before meeting with the @WHPEco Committee to discuss environmental issues. This is our second of four visits from local parliamentary candidates in the run up to the #generalelection

Thank you to everyone who came to the first North East Derbyshire hustings yesterday evening in Dronfield - great to debate and discuss! We're doing hustings all over North East Derbyshire in the days ahead - come along and ask your questions

Great to be out yesterday with our fab @Conservatives teams, working away for @Lee4NED! Great reception on the doorstep for a brilliant, hard working local MP! #LeeRowley @cwowomen @women2win @CWOEastMids

Good news on buses for North East Derbyshire! https://t.co/fiUfIwWOy9

The most consequential property reform for decades is law The Leasehold Bill empowers people with more control & freedom. Those on freehold estates gain transparency & redress Conservatism is best when smashing monopolies & making markets better. Today, we've made huge progress

It is the most amazing privilege to serve North East Derbyshire And we've made so much progress - town deals, banking hubs, a new A&E and much more But there's so much more to do. And that's why I'll be asking for your support again on 4th July Let's keep going together!

But we��ve also been honest with people that immigration needs to reduce for housebuilding to really make even more of the difference that we all want We've made progress &, now, we’ll reduce immigration & build more houses in the right places Labour will do neither (8/8)

And since 2010, 2.5m houses have been built, inc being on track for 1m this Parliament Before covid & Ukraine, housebuilding was the highest for years – including nearly 700k affordable homes Labour might get to make up their plans but they don’t get to make up facts (7/8)

And would this be the new towns that were going to be delivered partly based on ground rents? You know, the ground rents where we changed the law to stop new ones being created in 2022? https://t.co/UTBPlQrlOj (6/8)

Nor can Labour pretend to be the builders when they blocked 100,000+ houses from being built Starmer & Rayner told their peers to vote down changes to nutrient neutrality – which would have built more houses & improved the environment The hypocrisy is staggering (5/8)

And the challenge with building currently, because of construction costs, is economics Unless Labour are throwing oodles & oodles of subsidy at it, there is almost no chance they hit these rules So: what is it? Rachel’s fiscal rules or Angela’s random thoughts? (4/8)

Contrast with Labour who, today, confirmed that they will re-introduce top-down targets So that’s every single area told what they will build with little local input That’s a guarantee to reduce local support for the homes we need (3/8)

In recent months, we’ve: - Got tough on local councils who are not putting in place local plans - Introduced more permitted dev rights for building - Put in place the new NPPF - Laid out more plans for brownfield first Building more houses – but in the right places (2/8)

“Getting shovels in the ground is crucial” says Angela Rayner We agree. That’s why we are already getting on with making it happen And why Labour’s plans are, again, fantasy island (1/8)

Privilege to take part and acknowledge the service of Operation Grapple veterans yesterday in Chesterfield - thank you to everyone who organised and attended.
