@Derbyshirecc Great news for Derbyshire! 🚗 This record funding is a direct result of having a Labour Mayor in @ClaireWardEM.
Her £121m investment via the Combined Authority shows what Labour delivers—finally giving our roads the budget they need. Real results! 🛣️🌹 #EastMidlands#Labour
@JoensJoe91@tobyperkinsmp Deflecting with debunked talking points doesn’t change the issue: Reform is advising candidates to scrub their digital footprint. If their views are "common sense," why the rush to hit delete? Transparency shouldn’t be optional for those wanting to run the country.
@tobyperkinsmp Spot on, Toby. There’s a massive difference between a party discovering a "bad apple" through vetting and a party actively coaching its candidates to scrub the evidence of their actual beliefs. One is an oversight; the other is a deliberate attempt to mislead the electorate
@Derbyshirecc The route via the A53, A523, and A537 is a significant detour (essentially looping through Leek and Macclesfield), so if you're traveling next week, definitely factor in an extra 30–40 minutes.
@Derbyshirecc Toyota was a massive win for Derbyshire, but we can't rely on the 1989 manual. Today’s economic climate requires a totally different approach to trade and skills. Excellent to see this new campaign acknowledging our history while looking toward a very different future. 🏗️📈
@Rajdeep_Luthra@FullFact Replacing a neutral figurehead with an elected one often just adds more partisanship. Figures like Trump show that when a Head of State is a 'winner,' they represent a party, not the whole nation. A monarch provides a non-partisan stability that a political president can't.
@ChesterfieldBC Huge congratulations to Councillor Shirley Niblock on becoming the 385th Mayor of Chesterfield! 🏛️ It’s always wonderful to see such a long-standing local servant take on this historic role. Wishing her a very successful year in office.
@Derbyshirecc Huge respect for this. 52 donations is a massive contribution to our NHS and local patients. A great example of community spirit in action! 💉✨
@Derbyshirecc@EastMidsCCA@mitie Incredible to see a former colliery site being transformed into a hub for clean energy! ☀️ This is a perfect example of how we can honor our industrial heritage while building a greener future for Derbyshire. Great work @Derbyshirecc and @EastMidsCCA! 👏
@philip_cousins@Derbyshirecc The base funding is from Govt, but the reason it's a record £60m is the extra £19m secured by @clairewardlab and the EMCCA. Labour is essentially providing the 'pothole bonus' that the council didn't have in previous years. 🌹
@Derbyshirecc Glossop Tip closure makes ZERO sense:
📉 Shifts costs to fly-tipping cleanup
🚗 Forces 30-mile round trips to Buxton
🏠 Glossop is GROWING—we need infrastructure, not cuts!
Tell @DerbyshireCC this "saving" is a mistake for the High Peak. 🛑
#Glossop#HighPeak#Recycle
@Derbyshirecc Great to see this record investment in Derbyshire! 🛣️ This is exactly what happens when you have a Labour Mayor like @clairewardlab leading the EMCCA. Real funding finally reaching our roads thanks to Labour’s commitment to the East Midlands. 🌹 #Derbyshire#LabourWorks
@Derbyshirecc About time we moved toward 'right first time' repairs. It’s far more cost-effective for the taxpayer to have a permanent fix than constant repeat visits. Good to see this tech being rolled out.
@miracleofsound Happy birthday to me! 🎂 Level 13 dropping on the 14th is the most epic birthday present I could’ve asked for. The timing is actually perfect. Let’s gooo! 🚀🔥
@bob_earll@tobyperkinsmp Tell that to the Treasury! They include the State Pension in the 'welfare' total every time they want to claim the bill is too high. If you don't think a pension is a benefit, then the 'welfare' bill isn't actually as big as Kemi Badenoch is claiming.
@tobyperkinsmp Spot on. It’s a classic case of using big figures to hide the truth. When people hear ‘welfare,’ they don’t think of pensions—yet that’s over 50% of the budget (£177bn). Using that total to justify cuts to the vulnerable is misleading. #PMQs
@miracleofsound Spot on, @miracleofsound! 🍷 The Witcher 3 is the ultimate vintage. Between the art direction and that massive Next-Gen update—Ray Tracing, 4K textures, and "Ultra+" foliage—it legitimately looks better today than at launch. A decade later and still the gold standard. ⚔️🐺
