William Hague "Beginning of the Conservative Revival"

“These elections show that the Conservative Party is back in business in the North. We have taken control of Chester and South Ribble and made significant advances in Bury, Crewe and Nantwich, Preston, Sunderland, Barrow and many others. And we are on course to have control of more councils than Labour in the North West. This is the beginning of the Conservative revival in the north of England.” - William Hague
