Labour reminds ‘non-battleground’ candidates not to spend time campaigning in those seats
The Labour Party has reminded candidates in ‘non-battleground seats’ – which include Exmouth & East Exeter as well as Honiton & Sidmouth – not to spend too much time campaigning in those seats. In our seats, candidates and members had already been advised to campaign in Plymouth instead. This is further confirmation that ONLY the Liberal Democrats are seriously fighting to defeat the Conservatives in our area.
The Labour candidate for Honiton & Sidmouth, Jake Bonetta (pictured), had already signalled his support for this strategy, writing to members about Plymouth and saying ‘We cannot let the Tories win here’, as this site has already reported. Unfortunately, Jake has had to spend recent days in hospital – we wish him well. Labour’s Exmouth candidate has yet to comment. The Green Party has a similar strategy, with members travelling Bristol to help elect its co-leader Carla Denyer.

Dear Martin I hope you are keeping well. Thanks so much for your communications, which are so useful.
I would have liked to spend more time actively campaigning for Richard Foord, but Living Memories C.I.C keeps me fully occupied.
However, Leonore and I are doing our best to get older people to understand why they should vote for Richard and not Labour. We also try to convince quite a few residents that it is so important that they exercise their right to vote.
