Welcome to the Derby Labour Party website
Derby is a special city. Whether people are heading to work on a Monday morning, or celebrating the Rams beating Forest on a Saturday afternoon, it's a place where there's always a buzz and a friendly atmosphere. It's a city big enough to have a strong sense of pride but compact enough to enjoy a community spirit. Perhaps that's why the TV broadcaster and political commentator Jeremy Paxman once famously asked: "Why isn't the rest of Britain like Derby?"
On this web site, you'll find information on how to contact or visit your local Labour MP in Derby and also the latest news from the Labour Party both locally and nationally. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have an issue or need any further information.
