The Liberal Democrats basically got the same amount of votes, so anything Labour or the Conservatives are doing or have done in government didn't directly benefit them. And nothing the Lib Dems have ever done since being formed has had much of a bearing on the two larger parties, including when they partnered with the Tories in the 2010 coalition - they just U-Turned and assisted the ...

Believe that and you will believe anything in my opinion.

Village Idiot gets stuck in a toddler' swing at play park. And to think this teenager will be able to vote in a few years. Super low intelligent teens are being bred by and 'parented' by super low intelligent 'adults' who are probably too busy playing with their phones, wtching reality TV and shovelling junk food down their fat gullets to even give a damn. It's neglect, and probably why some ...

That sounds like a fantastic idea! Extending a garage workshop, especially for marine-related projects, can make a huge difference in both functionality and space utilization. It’s important to consider the layout carefully—ensuring proper storage for tools, equipment, and spare parts is key. Additionally, ensuring good ventilation and lighting would make the workspace even more efficient. If ...

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.

" 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.
