Richard Foord MP on “X”

John and I may disagree on a lot, but I cannot fault his willingness to speak truth to power. He has [been] vocal on the issues facing Devon, not holding back or pulling his punches towards Conservative bosses in Westminster.

Claire Wright on “X”

I spent 8 years working with John Hart. We were political opponents and had a few run ins, but he was fair and decent, always telling me in person why he wasn’t going to support a motion… but sometimes he did I wish him a long and happy retirement

Cllr Paul Arnott on “X”

I was at a Team Devon meeting of all Devon district leaders today when John let us know of his news. His chairing of Team Devon was a fine example of cross county and party co-operation. Thanks John. It’s been great to work with you.
