I really do not know now. I have voted Conservative in the past, but might have considered voting Labour now if Jeremy Corbyn was not the leader. I remember the middle to late 1970s so I can not put my cross to his party. If we did not have a reasonable Independent candidate, I would look for something like Screaming Lord Sutch, or spoil my vote, unless political parties change very radically by ...

I had to go to Exeter and it took me just over 2hrs and I know the roads and short cuts. So keep your radio on and tune into radio Devon where they give you regular updates of ...

That is being used now due to roadworks in Kenton in the evening. Do many people use it? Maybe locals in the summer but is it that big of a problem? How will it be policed (suspect it won't)?

This could be the kiss of death The sea Mr Grayling is that wet and sometimes blue stuff like you.

I forgot to say "He was from Dawlish".

Driving past the golf course down to Teignmouth on Saturday, I passed two individual cyclists 50m apart. It would have been much easier to pass them if they had been riding two abreast (just the one overtake to make then).

When Hazel Kampler bought her seaside flat last year, she was drawn to its perfect vantage point on the idyllic Devon coastline. Fed up with the ‘steel forest’ shrouding her home – and defying her age at 86 – she clambered out of a first-floor window and used all her strength to haul away the planks blocking her view.

Barnier's "assurances" count for nothing, we would still be tied to the EU until it allowed us to leave.  It's rather like the victors in a war dictating terms to the losing side.  It would be a complete national humiliation.  In 2016 we voted to leave the EU, not to ask the EU for permission to leave.  If only we had politicians with backbone who truly wanted us to get out of the EU.  If May's ...
