🚨BREAKING🚨
Imran Ahmad Khan, Independent (formerly Conservative) MP for Wakefield, is to resign as an MP.
This will trigger a by-election in Wakefield.
🚨 Confirmed: Assuming Labour win in the West Yorkshire Mayoral election we will be standing in the Batley and Spen by-election.
Candidate selection will begin next week.
We note
@JLPartnersPolls
have polled Wakefield. The poll excluded the party that came third in Wakefield in the 2017 GE, the 2021 West Yorks Mayor Election and the 2022 locals - the Yorkshire Party.
Embarrassing ignorance of politics outside the South East

We haven’t won a seat this year, but tens of thousands of votes have been cast for the Yorkshire Party this year. Thank you to everyone who has voted for us!

It's time for a Yorkshire Regional Parliament
We face a constant repeat of funding cuts, decaying roads & rails, struggling schools, and a stuttering economy
Help us put Yorkshire's future on the priorities list
We have 7 councillors, 45 district candidates & we have been getting great results across the region.
But we don’t get a graphic. Yet, the BBC think the Liberals deserve one - where's the impartiality?

sort it out!

Yorkshire Party GAIN from Labour Party - Bridlington South ward, East Riding (two members). Congratulations to our fantastic new Councillors Tim Norman and Andy Walker.
Incredibly disappointing to see
@IainDale
and LBC hold an election debate and invite parties with 45, 20, 19 and four candidates, but exclude the party with 28 candidates.
Increasingly seems that if a political party is based in the north, much of the London media doesn’t care.
🗳️ Final result for South Yorkshire Mayor:
Yorkshire Party slip to a close 3rd place in what is a confirmed commitment to our position as the third party of Yorkshire - polling 34,000+ votes and reinforcing our position as the first alternative to the big two London parties.
There is still time to save Doncaster Airport!
The airport’s owner, Peel Group, says there is no financial future for the Airport, despite rejecting a funding offer from South Yorkshire Mayoral Authority.
We believe that Peel Group is acting in bad faith.
BREAKING: Senior North Yorkshire County Councillor Mike Jordan resigns from Tories and joins Yorkshire Party in protest at Government’s devolution stance.
Massive thank you to all of you across Yorkshire who voted for us on Thursday! 🎈 🎉
Needless to say we are very happy with our results for West Yorkshire mayor.
Change is coming. Watch this space. ✊.

Now it's doubtful whether it will go to Manchester
As ever, London is put first when 'difficult decisions' need to be made
Eg, Crossrail was expanded over budget, not cut
🎯🚨 Our best ever Parliamentary election result.
Once again we have beaten established parties who have larger resources and a bigger media following.
Thank you to everyone who voted for us, or listened to our argument for a better Wakefield in a fairer Yorkshire.
Thank you for the surge for interest in us over the last few days - many if you ask what our policies are and what we stand for ⬇️
Localism and a Yorkshire Parliament
🤔 Why does Yorkshire deserves a region parliament?
🌁 "It's only a region!" London have their own assembly
🏴 Population equal to Scotland
🏴 Economy twice the size of Wales
⚪ Clearly defined borders with a recognised culture
We believe that racism has no part to play in our society, and should be combatted with every available resource.
We are joining the calls for the Yorkshire county cricket board to resign over the appalling handling of Azeem Rafiq.
✅ Feel that Yorkshire deserves more than what it gets?
✅ Sick to the back teeth of underfunded education, healthcare and transport systems?
✅ Want to build a better, stronger, more democratic and green county? Then join the Yorkshire Party here:
We lose 283,000,000 litres of water a day due to leaky pipes and burst mains - while our county faces a hose pipe ban, Yorkshire Water made £241 million in operation profits last year.
Clearly stricter targets need to be put in place to protect our water network.
🗳️ CONFIRMED: Conservatives have failed to field a candidate in Rotherham.
This means that there will be no Conservative candidate in the seat for the first time since **1935**.
🙌 Thank you to everyone who campaigned, supported and, of course, voted for the Yorkshire Party.
Together we will build a stronger Yorkshire in a fairer United Kingdom.

We will be fielding a record breaking number of candidates in the up coming May elections!
51 names, spread across the region are representing the Yorkshire Party and our campaign to improve God's own county!
(Plus 2 mayoral candidates!)
All 10 seats we stood in have been announced for Wakefield Council -
We beat the Greens in 8 out of 10 wards and beat the Lib Dems in all three wards where we both had candidates.
We’ve announced £2.1bn to prepare for No Deal. Funding will accelerate preparations at the border, support business readiness and ensure the supply of critical medicines.

The Yorkshire party supports community lead projects - like this monument to the coal mines that Doncaster was so famed for.
We have a plan for a Yorkshire that is forward thinking and progressive in its nature, but it is important we don't forget our past.

makes me fear I’m going to find it transformed into a county of leftist whingers begging for handouts.
Let’s hope that’s not the case.
You’ll pay £1,000s in tax towards HS2 and Crossrail but in Yorkshire you’ll get nowt for your money

Thank you to the almost 48,000 voters for Bob Buxton for West Yorkshire Mayor
The West Yorkshire Metro certainly gained traction
We'll keep fighting for better transport,
stronger devolution and

#LocalElections2024
We remain opposed to metro mayors, they do not offer the powers needed to regenerate our county appropriately and show only token effort for leveling up.
But we will be contesting this election and will be using it as a platform to call for a Yorkshire Regional Parliament.
🏴 North Yorkshire and the city of York will have a directly elected mayor for the first time.
This comes after the government green lit a £540 million devolution deal today, giving the region substantially greater powers and resources.
Saddened to see the absolutely sneering attitude of the

as their South Yorkshire Mayoral candidate, says that Doncaster Sheffield Airport closing is a good thing.
Do the 800 people set to lose their jobs agree?
Does the city that has lost its airport agree?
It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Prince Philip - the entire team here at the Yorkshire Party send our commiserations to her Majesty and their family at this time.

💷 That's £5,400 for each person in the county.

The polls are now closed! To everyone who has campaigned for us, supported us and voted for us: Thank you! Now we wait to see the results on Sunday.
#winningforyorkshire
Happy Yorkshire day to all Yorkshiremen & women, this is our day to celebrate everything about our wonderful and unique county.
Today we relax, but tomorrow we continue the fight for a stronger and more prosperous Yorkshire!
As the chaos of a London-centric government continues, as the political backstabbing and jockeying keep up the pace, one thing is obvious.
Yorkshire continues to lose out.
It's time for a strong voice for our entire county.
🌱 It is hearting to see that the conversation had move from not *IF* there should be devolution, but *WHAT* type of devolution that is.
📢 We propose a Yorkshire Parliament, with tax raising powers elected under PR by those who live and work in Yorkshire.

The UK is suffering heavily from regional inequality. This is causing many social issues. We need louder and more influential voices at a local level to help solve this.
#Devolution

#Westminister
will help solve this. As well as giving regions equal and fair funding.
UK is stuck in political quicksand
🟦Tories’ core vote is the wealthy Southern counties. They can only do so much before alienating their base.
🟥Without Scottish seats Labour stand no chance.
✊Time for a new way of doing politics based on strong regions & local democracy!
Congrats to our four Sheffield and single Barnsley candidates from last night! Strong second place in Cudworth, Barnsley - and two wards contested for the first time in Sheffield, beating national parties to a respectable 3rd place.
"The Conservative Minister for the Northern Powerhouse; a man who doesn’t even represent a Yorkshire constituency, demanding that Yorkshire stops trying to work together."
We've had enough of Jake Berry, the main obstacle to Yorkshire Devolution. Have you?
