Dear Reader – No such parliamentary constituency exists or is planned, though there is a Lib Dem controlled “Mid Devon” District Council and Mel Stride (Con) is the MP for “Central Devon”.

Looks like the Tories are spending the Hester millions on leaflets – though Owl’s contacts in what will be the new Exmouth & Exeter East haven’t reported receiving this one.

Is Simon being deliberately misleading or is he so stressed by the thought of losing his seat he has become “confused”?

Perhaps some kind soul could refer him to Sidmouth’s memory clinic. – Owl
