[18] At the conclusion of his four-year term of office as Leader of Derbyshire County Council, Andrew Lewer became vice-president of the Local Government Association (LGA), a position he retains to this day.

[19] Lewer was elected to the European Parliament representing the East Midlands in 2014, replacing the former Conservative MEP Roger Helmer, who had defected to UKIP.

[20] He supported Brexit, as he felt that David Cameron had failed to gain any meaningful concessions from his European counterparts.

[25] In August 2018, Lewer broke ranks with the other MPs and said that while mismanagement had fuelled the Northamptonshire crisis, the council was also a victim of underlying financial pressures affecting all local authorities with social care responsibilities.

Following an interim report on the connections between colonialism and properties now in the care of the National Trust, including links with historic slavery, Lewer was among the signatories of a letter to The Telegraph in November 2020 from the "Common Sense Group" of Conservative Parliamentarians.

[37] In January 2021 Lewer wrote an open letter to the Northamptonshire Chief Constable asking that the Police do not focus on 'soft targets' for Covid fines.

[39] In December 2021 Lewer backed the campaign to build a monument to commemorate the efforts of the Photographic Reconnaissance Unit, a former pilot of which, George Pritchard, lives in his Northampton South constituency.

[40] During the July 2022 Conservative Party leadership election, Lewer helped form the campaign team of Kemi Badenoch.

[43] Lewer led a Westminster Hall debate on 10 May 2023 on small and medium sized housebuilders, highlighting the reduction of their number in the last fifteen years.
