WHEN Tory candidate Lee Rowley took the Labour constituency of North East Derbyshire on a 12.5 per cent swing in 2017, it shocked many in the political and media world.
Sitting less than 20 miles south of Sheffield, the constituency — which comprises Dronfield, Clay Cross and several small villages — was one where coal was once king.
Labour had represented the area since 1935, and it saw socialist rebellion in the early seventies, when left-wing Labour councillors led by David Skinner — brother of Dennis — refused to implement laws that would force councils to raise their rents to private sector levels.
