If you’re heading to Conservative Conference this year, a friendly word of advice: don’t engage with the group outside shedding turquoise tears. They’re absolutely desperate to get in, but sadly they’re not invited.
Best just walk on by.
#Durham:
Cllr Aaron Hillam, elected as a Reform councillor for Craghead & South Moor, has vacated his seat.
Reason currently unknown.
A by-election will be held in Craghead & South Moor.
If the administration loses 1 more seat, the council will be under No Overall Control.
Good luck to our six excellent Conservative candidates standing in today’s local government by-elections!

✅ David Ferguson in Hirst, Northumberland
✅ Jenny Richards in Amble, Northumberland

Cllr Cheryl Creaser (elected as a Labour councillor for Rye & Winchelsea and subsequently an Independent) and Cllr Connor Winter (elected as an Independent for Bexhill St. Mark's) have both joined the Conservative party.
This is what leadership looks like.
Kemi Badencoh is standing up for what’s right and putting the plans in place to make a difference. She’s taking the Conservatives in the right direction.
Let’s leave the ECHR, deport these illegal migrants and protect communities.
