UPDATE! UPDATE! TheresaMaybeI'llchangemymind has er..........changed her mind. Now she's saying that there will indeed be a cap on social care costs. Only trouble is.........she's not saying how much that cap will be. All will be decided after the election apparently. I wonder why that cap will be determined after the election and not before. Eh? Scratching my head now trying to figure ...
Why not charge for hospital treatment/presciption charges visits to/from GPs/district nurses etc as well as social care? (I'm playing devil's advocate now). Thoughts anyone? Just heard Mummy (for that is what she is allegedly called by some) say yet again that we have an ageing population and that by the end of the next decade there will be 2million more people aged 75 and over. ...
There is no mention of the plight of WASPI women in the 2017 Conservative Party manifesto and I can't find anything in the Lib Dem manifesto either. The Green Party talks of redressing pension injustice but does not elaborate what is meant by that.

Polling day is next month.
Actually I think you'll find that you were the one who made the statement that he was an unpopular mayor. I merely pointed out that that might not be the case. And as for that email trail that you claim is dubious. It seems the Pethericks had/have no doubt as to its authenticity. But now I must go. There's a GE on and I've got lots to do. Byee
and another thing. You seem to imply from the last sentence of your last post (see above) that Cllr Wrigley did not score very well when it came to the number of votes cast for him in the local elections held in May 2015. Au contraire! He topped the poll in that ward! Take a look - https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/media/1057/dawlish-north-east.pdf
Is it in the public domain which councillors voted for and which councillors voted against (or abstained or weren't present) when the vote was taken to elect the mayor? Surely it would have to have been a majority (even if only by one vote) for him to be elected mayor. So how can you say that "he's not popular with over half of his co-councillors". It would seem that the opposite is true ie ...
It is only one district councillor (Hockin) and our county councillor (Clatworthy) who apparently may refuse to attend DTC meetings. Cllr Wrigley may not be the mayor that the Tories were wishing to have but that does not make him an unpopular mayor as far as the Dawlishl electorate are concerned.
