The Lib Dem brown nosing-paper that calls itself the Mid Devon Advertiser conveniently neglects to mention that there was a District Council by-election in Teignmouth West. The position was won by the Liberal Democrats in 2019 and 2023 but the Councillor quit the party, became an Independent and then left the Council entirely triggering a by-election. This was not reported at the time and kept ...

@1263 You're wrong. The Lib Dem % of the vote in Dawlish was up on 2021 by almost 2%. They only gained 3 more votes compared to 2021. But as turn-out was lower this year their vote share went up.

You definitely need to check the sell-by dates in Sainsburys, they don't seem to clear the shelves of out of date items.

" We will commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy" The 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landings was LAST year, 2024, as the landings took place on June 6th 1944. Someone should get their facts right.

@sarahkhan Politicians should expect to be criticized when they act in such a dictatorial manner. Are you even aware of the full picture? And what name calling? The title is the same as that on the You Tube video? It's a question and a very valid one. Constructive discussion was exactly what Dawson prevents from occurring as Chair of the District Council.

I doubt Martin owns a surfboard. The thought of Martin being able to surf is hilarious! At his age! He's hardly got a surfer's physique and I'm sure he's taking advantage of the heavily subsidized bars and eateries in Westminster. Nevertheless the Liberal Democrats are on the 'crest of a wave' that looks to continue for the foreseeable future. #Winning Here

In Times  past as i understand we are the only country that was involved at the start of world war 2 and fought from the start to the very end and were the british and its commonwealth countries .My point is that the E.U .got the europeans like Von Der Lyon and Co. to expand plans for the E.U.  Which as I remember Nigel Farage   warned that this would lead to poking the Russian bear causing it to ...

Rosie Dawson wants to be elected our County Councillor on May 1st She is currently the worst Chair we've ever had in Teignbridge District Council, which is considered Britain's worst Council.

@Dawlish Against Censorship Guilty as charged - I have not tried to hide from the the fact that I am an arrogant, classist, snob - an elitist bitch. Also I'd have thought anyone reading this would welcome openness and transparency when it comes to politics. I'm loyal to the Liberal Democrat party as long as it suits me. And the party is far greater than the likes of Rosie and Martin who are but ...
