The new leader of the Isle of Wight Conservative Group at County Hall, Councillor Clare Mosdell, has promised strong leadership.
Following a vote within the Isle of Wight Conservative Association on Thursday evening, Cllr Mosdell has been appointed to represent the Tories on the Isle of Wight Council.
The Alliance Administration remains in charge of the authority after a close leadership contest in September saw the Conservatives narrowly miss out. Cllr Mosdell has taken over the reins of the Alliance’s main opposition, following Cllr Suzie Ellis’s resignation as group leader after four months in the position.
Cllr Mosdell, the representative for Newchurch, Havenstreet and Ashey, confirmed on Friday that she will stand again for re-election in May 2025, after previously suggesting she would not.
In a statement, she said she is honoured to be voted as the new group leader and has given her assurance to those who believe in her that not only will she provide strong and eloquent leadership but she will also stand again.
Cllr Mosdell, who has been on the authority since May 2017, said:
“My main priority is to ensure each group member can be given the best platforms available to represent the residents of their wards and that communication is improved across the whole council.
“Any motion to full council will be meaningful and beneficial to Island residents.

Actions speak louder than words,,,,,,
Heard all this bull before…..
Hot air ….
Let’s give it a few months??????
Before another one jumps ship !!!!!!
Slander! The Tories are Strong and Stable!
Lol hahaha…
And that will never happen she’s a conservative. all she is thinking about is herself like the rest of them
Strong and stable even. I am sure that her extensive experience as a book-keeper will come in handy. But it won’t be for long. We all know how this ends.
I love the pun!
she has a lot of experience with enlarging stables !
She knows all about stables and how to get around planning laws!
“Clare Mosdell, has promised strong leadership”
Yeah, so did that CONservative tvvat ‘Boris’… & look how that turned out ….
What she means is bullying people to do what benefits her and not us as mere mortals. Look at her track record in Adult Social Care . Wealthy people should not be in a position to undermine lower classes and create poverty. Now labour is messing up over Israel,not sure who will be out next priminister, definitely not Conservative though.
She goes back alot further than adult care. She will mess up any ones life to get what she wants. Nasty piece of work
Typical Tory Values
On ya bike clair id rathe vote labour than you or the cons
Whether voting Labour or CONservative you still get the same leader
Mr Schwab leader of the W E F
do your homework
She promised she wouldn’t sell our Fire Brigade down the river too Hampshire too!!! How did that go?
…and all that reside here? Really? There isn’t a Tory alive who wants to represent everyone. She won’t last a year, if that. In any event she can say what she likes, no-one other than her cronies will care and come election time they were get to know exactly what the public think of them. Prepare to be flushed down the pan.
Strong leadership with the friends that helped the rule breaker get away with a little planing issue! Lots have ended up in trouble for the same thing, nasty woman with a checkered past of lies and trouble making.
