David Herdson Announces Plan for Wakefield

Yorkshire Party leader, Bob Buxton, who wrote a foundation degree in renewables, had this to say: "A VAT cut on energy bills is an obvious step which the Government has failed to take. The long-term solution is for the UK to become a net-energy exporter, prioritising green energy. A Yorkshire […]

Inaction risks further strain on those who have already suffered

Despite being electorally successful in the elections held for such positions in West and South Yorkshire, finishing third in both with tens of thousands of first preference votes and large swaths of second […]

Time for real devolution – not sham metro mayors

The Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill must include trusting local leaders with large-scale budgets, including ambitious and far-reaching projects, such as a rapid mass transit system for West Yorkshire and a high-speed rail link between Hull and Liverpool. Otherwise, they would have to keep going cap-in-hand to Westminster, who would still hold all […]

Levelling-up must include control of large budgets

Across Yorkshire we've seen fantastic strides forward towards achieving a fairer settlement for our county. Our hard working candidates and volunteers have run the most professional campaign we've managed since we were founded back in 2014, to demand a better future for all in our region. With the backdrop of […]

First alternative to the big two

Dated 26.04.2022 Building on the fantastic result gained in the West Yorkshire Mayoral election, where we finished third and achieved 12% of the vote within the Wakefield district, we have selected David Herdson to be our candidate for the forthcoming parliamentary by-election. As a local resident who is standing for […]

Candidate Announced for Wakefield By Election

The cost of living crisis is hitting everyone in our county, hitting those who are already worse off due to Tory tax increases especially hard. Rather than the one off payment short term fix solution that the Labour Party are offering, to fix this issue we need to adopt a […]

Yorkshire party pledges to fight energy bill increases

Simon Biltcliffe has been out and about across all of South Yorkshire today, hand delivering his manifesto which promises to put the region back on the map. He promises to be the most transparent politician in the country by donating his wage to charity and publishing all monthly expenses online. […]

Manifesto launched for South Yorkshire Mayor

Our campaigning teams have been active across the county during the last few weeks as we are contesting two by elections. The two wards to be elected are Wheatley Hills & Intake on Doncaster Council and Mayfield ward on Scarborough Council. The Wheatley Hills election has been called due to […]

Election double header

The Yorkshire Party is deeply concerned and saddened by the ruthless way P&O has sacked its staff. We call on P&O to reverse this decision immediately. Anything of this nature should involve a proper and full consultation with all members of staff and trade unions. P&O should follow the correct […]

Statement on P&O

The Yorkshire Party strongly condemns the actions of Russia in their unprovoked attack on the people of Ukraine. As a Party we support the free will of all people to democratic freedom and rule of law and the actions of Russia to subvert this process by force in Ukraine is […]

Statement on the invasion of Ukraine

"The Sue Gray report update confirms what we already knew: a failure of leadership at 10 Downing St, a failure to uphold high standards, parties that broke the rules, and, by extension, that Parliament was misled by the Prime Minister." "Any MP who does not call for the Prime Minister […]

Sue Gray Report: MP’s Must Do Their Duty

Sheffield Council's £190,000 year CEO has betrayed the trust of not only the people of Sheffield, but the entire country, when she hosted an illegal indoor gathering while she was the chief the country's COVID response task force. Despite denying the allegations earlier in the week when she was approached […]

“Sheffield deserves better leaders” – Simon Biltcliffe

Boris Johnson is unfit to govern and should resign, after recent sleaze scandals and the controversy surrounding the alleged Christmas party in Downing Street last year. "The Prime Minster's excuses about the Christmas party are laughable and his performance embarrassing. He has not shared the sacrifices made by the nation. […]

Boris Johnson should resign – or be removed

It has become clear that the delay in publication of the Levelling-Up Report is to give the Government more time to make up new promises to break. Yorkshire Party Leader Bob Buxton said: “Who are they kidding? We don’t get fooled again. Promises on HS2 and Bradford’s much-needed new station […]

Delay In Levelling-Up Report Fools No One

The Yorkshire Party is calling for green technology colleges to help solve the climate crisis. Party leader Dr Bob Buxton, who has previously devised a foundation degree in renewables, said: “Recent surveys tell us that young people are increasingly concerned about climate change and pollution – and quite rightly so, […]

Next Generation of Yorkshire’s Green Workforce

The Yorkshire Party has lambasted the Government for cancelling the eastern leg of HS2 to Leeds and the new Bradford station on the proposed Leeds-Manchester line. Yorkshire Party Leader, Bob Buxton, said: "Cancelling the highest-budget projects in Yorkshire is not levelling-up, it's downgrading and degrading. Yorkshire's prosperity will be damaged […]
