The only hustings of the general election took place at Teignmouth Community School. It's great that pupils are encouraged to take an interest in politics... But why has there been no hustings for those of us 18 and over, i.e. actual voters? Pretty shocking that the electorate is unable to ask questions and scrutinize candidates. Let's hope these teenagers don't expect to attend hustings once ...

YELLOW AND BLUE : UNITED IN INEPTITUDE CONSERVATIVES used to be about supporting small business, protecting our ancient landscapes and standing up for individual freedoms – yet for the past eight years our MP has done no such thing, with a voting record that’s often eccentric and consistently hostile to the common interest. LIB DEMS should be concerned with increasing transparency, helping ...

Received this morning. Along with a separate supposedly signed-for letter that was not signed for, which I’m going to start a new subject on.

A cannabis grower from Dawlish who claimed he had a human right to free electricity has been found guilty of bypassing his meter. Graham Walker removed the entire pre-payment meter from his home in Dawlish as soon as it was installed in July 2021 but it took months for energy company Eon to notice. Read more... ...

haha - I don't disagree with quite a bit of what you write. Except I don't see what you call big government and I call neoliberalism being anything to do with socialism. Our politicians are puppets with billionaire media moguls, multinational corporate interest and the establishment, so old boys networks linked to Harrow, Eton Oxbridge unis, the aristocracy and monarchy as well as foreign ...

The gunning down of those people was terrible, I'm glad it was exposed. However wikileaks released tens of thousands of secret military documents, an action that possibly put people's lives at risk. Should he have been released or should he have served more time?

"however if you think that a potty mouth and so called comedian ? ( assuming his comments were meant to be funny )is up to you but you certainly have lost my vote" Think what? That didn't make sense . I don't know if the swearing will win disaffected, disenfranchised voters who rightly might refer to politics as an 'effing joke' (and swear themselves) or put others off. Some would say it's a ...

People in Newton Abbot are justifiably angry about the unwanted, unpopular changes the Lib Dem run District Council under Wrigley's Leadership and their Tory allies in Devon County Council are forcing onto Queen St. Unsurprisingly finding Lib Dem election leaflets through their doors from Westminster hopeful Wrigley himself telling them he's the 'People's Champion' and 'working hard for Newton ...

@1263 Totally agree, I'd rather have Liam Mullone from the SDA representing us in parliament as he has integrity, he stands up for the people and has a track record of tackling corruption even when subject to threats and abuse and Teignbridge District Council's Kangaroo courts. Whatever the outcome of this election the SDA will have greater exposure to more voters in the District, then it moves ...

Thought that the work to pin the cliffs would have started at the most notorious section of the cliffs first ? or is common sense alien to network rail? How long have they been working on this feels like years... .

A DAWLISH charity has thanked a resident who created pin badges for the organisation to sell to boost its finances.

@1263 Many parties could just share the same flyer, they say much the same thing and deliver absolutely bugger all. But at least it'd further reduce paper use. Top idea!

@1263 haha no chance, it'd be a waste of money in any case.

This is very relevant for the Dawlish area, take a look what do you think? SDA represent an alternative to the Lib Dem-Tory norm that just isn't working/ #2 Stop Over-Development From the SDA Website http://southdevonalliance.org/News20.html Westminster's National Planning Policy Framework uses an equation to work out how many houses we need.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8yk3OlkKGg Forgot what a beautiful place we live in.

It seems our Constituency is neither a Lib Dem nor a Labour target seat, if we're splitting hairs. Vote for whichever party you want, unbound by people telling you who to 'tactically' vote for - people who don't actually give a damn about lack of democratic process and corruption. They don't know better than you, they're not your 'betters'. Be curious. Do your own research. Make up your own ...

One of the biggest pieces of misinformation that many people assume or are led to believe is that our Constituency is in a Lib Dem target/priority. That's certainly what Lib Dem candidate Wrigley is telling everyone. He is also telling everyone that our Constuency is not a key battleground for Labour. this may have been the case months ago, but it now seems the Labour party stance has changed ...

@1263 The Lib Dems here use the same tactics too, and have been doing for years. Here's an example from Wrigley's recent propagandist BS; This is a complete misrepresentation as there is no mention of the official opposition in Teignbridge, The South Devon Alliance. They came second behind the Lib Dems and ahead of the Tories. This graph shows how the Lib Dems will do/say/publish whatever it ...
