The Prime Minister himself, only a few days ago, highlighted the poor record of Derbyshire County Council since Labour took control last year and this poorly worded motion was yet another example of their hard left and unconstructive approach. This coupled with legal advice only being given at the start of the meeting itself, thus not giving us time to question it in detail, led to the Conservative Group walking out of the Council Chamber. Council meetings have turned into tedious propaganda exercises over the last year. The absence of the public and the press shows they have voted with their feet.
