Yorkshire Party reveals candidate for Scarborough and Whitby to stand in December election
Lee Derrick has been chosen to contest the seat of Scarborough and Whitby.
Chris Whitwood, the Yorkshire Party Leader, said: "The Westminster parties have let Yorkshire down time and again. They have proved themselves inept not just over Brexit but in resolving the gross injustice of unequal school spending; ending years of abysmal transport service to ensure people can get to work on time; and taking meaningful action in response to climate change.
