Fighting for rural communities. Labour are the 2nd party in Central Devon. Help us elect a Labour MP and build a competent government. We want to hear from you.
Great news from the Supreme Court.
Dartmoor is a very special place, and this ruling will allow campers to tread lightly and leave no trace.
Congratulations to @guyshrubsole and the Right to Roam campaign on a tremendous outcome.

We know which side we're on.
Labour in government is making the kind of deals that will support economic growth.
There is only one serious party in the UK.

Within just two weeks, we have secured trade deals with India, the US and now the EU.
Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer is delivering for British people, British businesses, and British jobs.
ALT We’re delivering for the British people. UK-India deal secured. UK-US deal secured. UK-EU deal secured.
Speaking to residents in Buckfastleigh this morning with Labour candidate Tristan Snowshill.
Lots of people want to see change after decades of disastrous Conservative rule at County Hall.
Huge respect also for Keir Starmer's role on the international stage.

Leadership personified.
Proud of our Prime Minister putting the UK front and centre again. Could you imagine the bluster and waffle that would've come out of the mouths of Johnson or Truss?
Clear-eyed and mature.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called on the US to provide a 'backstop' to deter Russia from attacking Ukraine again after meeting with European leaders for emergency talks on the war

On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the six million Jewish people who were brutally murdered.
Today and every day, we stand against the poison of antisemitism and hatred in all its forms.
Our Labour team braved the cold at today's Crediton Farmer's Market, and were warmed up by the positive response they received!
We are in the community all year round.

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own.
Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest?... 1/
This is the truth about Labour's Budget and farmers.

The truth about Labour's Budget and farmers
- The change announced in the Budget will not impact the majority of farmers.
- Estates worth up to £3 million could still be passed on by a couple completely free of inheritance tax.
- Where inheritance tax does apply, farmers will still pay 50% less inheritance tax than everyone else.
- Heirs can spread the payment over 10 years interest-free instead of having to pay it all at once.
- The policy is about protecting smaller family farms while ensuring the wealthiest landowners pay their fair share.
- Our public services need fixing and the wealthiest should be the ones who bear the greatest burden so we can do that.
- Farmers will benefit from £5 billion being invested into farming over the next two years - the largest amount ever directed towards sustainable food production in our country's history.
A great response in Crediton this morning with lots of good conversations.
Labour is at the heart of your community in Central Devon all year round.

Want an example of the competence and talent that is now in govt? Just listen to @LukePollard set out policy on defence, NATO & Ukraine.
Labour has changed beyond recognition these past few years, and we are proud to have been a small part of that in the South West.
