“Battered, bruised” former Conservative leader in Derbyshire who lost his seat to Reform says party has “lost its way” on key values and @Nigel_Farage is “leading” on migration He told us yesterday that voters have “lost faith” in the Conservatives after turmoil in government

'We didn't think it was going to be quite this bad' Barry Lewis, former Conservative leader of Derbyshire County Council, spoke to #BBCBreakfast after Reform UK took control of the authority with the Tories losing 33 councillors including his own seat https://t.co/lhF7NBi7Ix https://t.co/aNpWBJ0Jyo

A “wipeout” in Derbyshire for the Conservatives as their now former leader puts it - but devastation for Labour too, who are now barely represented Reform will decide who who leads them here in the coming days Here’s how it panned out for us 👇🏽@bbcemt https://t.co/yuciBR51Tf

Adding together with Lab Coop boosts Labour’s tally to third, not fourth - still astonishing given it amounts to just three seats, the same as the Lib Dems The 14 they gained in 2021 was considered a low bar to overcome Reform 37% Con 21% Lab 20% Lib 9%

The final vote tally for Derbyshire - where Reform will now take the reigns - is a picture of total devastation for both Labour and the Conservatives But for Labour to be in fourth place is particularly astonishing https://t.co/LUYHUczEZF
