General Discussion
How far do you think TM will need to move the 'offer' if she is to placate those closer to home? hrtbps @hrtbps 50m Theresa May has declared the 54% of her constituency who voted Remain her opponents. Good people of #Maidenhead , you know what to do.
I take your point Lynne - but HuwMatthews2 is right about Labour: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/apr/19/general-election-labour-annihilation-jeremy-corbyn?CMP=share_btn_tw
I cannot speak on the availability or willingness to attend on behalf of the UKIP or Labour candidates, but as far as the incumbent Conservative contender is concerned, I understand there has been such umbrage taken on campaign issues such as bus schedules and school funding (where Dawlish schools would lose £33 per pupil under Devon County Council proposals) it is reported he will not attend ...
Should be a very interesting get together, Lynne. That's if they can get all of the candidates in the same room at the same time...
Your right about environment legislation issues Lynne. I've read that a large percentage of directives - perhaps the sort that protect estuary wildlife habitats and which are about to help bring forward significant open green spaces here in Dawlish and Exminster - may end up on a bonfire of 'red tape' under the Great Repeal Bill, following our EU departure. These open spaces will have been ...
Thank you Lynne - text now converted to link. This article relates to a large NHS site between the village of Exminster and the M5/A38, which was rejected for inclusion in the Teignbridge Local Plan in 2013. Exminster is already having to bear an even greater burden of new housing than Dawlish under 'Plan Teignbridge', however the GESP is calling for more land to come forward, seemingly ...

Quite, Lynne. The NHS cannot wait until the cusp of the next general election to be thrown a lifeline. Meanwhile that very real figure of £50 million a year is disappearing through doctors being trained here, then taking their skills abroad - even before the extra cost of locum doctors comes into play.
Nobody below saying that a vote for Leave would let us fund our NHS?
That's the sort of global British export this country could afford to do without, Lynne. The locums might be sitting pretty, but with over 100 A&E doctors leaving annually each costing some £500k to train, that's £50 million a year going south. With £-vs-world currency exchange rates now looking set to remain depressed, who could blame a young doctor from being tempted abroad?
