Local Tory MPs agree with Claire Wright on tourism funding

We can recall not long ago Claire Wright being savaged by Leader Diviani and many of his cronies for daring to put forward a motion at EDDC for a cut in tourism VAT to bring it in line with other European countries:

As she wrote:

“I also asked for a recorded vote to take place. The conservatives voted against a recorded vote. … To much chuntering and heckling, the final vote was 23 votes against to 14 in favour. The conservatives voted largely as a block, with a few abstentions. Cllr Mike Howe DID vote in favour, however.”

Now it appears that South West Tory MPs agree with her:

Which just leaves East Devon District Council out of step … again.
