VOTE FOR JUPP AND GET THIS MONSTER!
A vote for anyone other than Claire Wright will ensure that he can do things like this for the next FIVE years.
Vote Jubb/Johnson – vote liars into power.
Fake news – yet another Tory and BBC example

Even more Toey fake news
“The Mail on Sunday falsely claimed that Labour was planning to scrap a tax exemption on homeowners, in a prominent story that has since been used by the Conservatives as part of their election campaign.
The press regulator Ipso ruled that the newspaper’s reporting was inaccurate and “could cause significant concern to readers that, under a Labour government, they could be liable to pay a tax they are exempt from under current legislation.”
The Mail on Sunday headline was then used in Conservative campaign literature and shared by Tory politicians on social media.
The story said Labour wanted “to scrap the capital gains tax exemption on main homes”, citing a report called Land for the Many, written for Labour by a group of academics and campaigners.
Contrary to the Mail on Sunday’s claims, the third-party report explicitly rejected proposals to scrap the capital gains tax exemption for main homes, and instead recommended an annual levy on any increase in value of a property.
The erroneous article was published in June, and the press regulator ruled on the inaccuracy in November. The Mail on Sunday must now publish Ipso’s ruling on page 2 of its print edition and on the top half of its website for 24 hours. But because the paper sought a review of the process by which the decision was made, publication of the correction has been delayed until after the election.
The authors of the Land for the Many report, which was edited by the Guardian columnist George Monbiot, have gone public with the ruling before Thursday’s vote.
Monbiot said: “We are pleased that Ipso has now imposed a major sanction. But I fear the damage has been done. The false claim has been implanted in people’s minds that Labour is coming for your home.”
The article’s false claims were repeated on Conservative party campaign websites such as Cost of Corbyn, where the policy was described as a “movers tax”. They were also cited on the spoof Labour Manifesto website produced by the Tories, which was promoted heavily with paid-for online adverts.
The Mail on Sunday argued that although the Land for the Many report did not propose scrapping the exemption for main homes, the article was not inaccurate as the report proposed an alternative tax on the gains in capital value of main homes.
However, Ipso’s complaints committee concluded that the Mail on Sunday “inaccurately reported information featured clearly within a publicly accessible policy document”.
It said: “The correction offered by the newspaper was insufficient to address this significant inaccuracy, which had formed a central point in the article. In light of these considerations, the committee concluded that that an adjudication was the appropriate remedy.”

“An adviser to the health secretary, Matt Hancock [pictured here today at the hosputal in question]
has been involved in a confrontation with protesters outside a Leeds hospital during a Conservative general election campaign visit.
Conservative sources claimed on Monday afternoon that the adviser had been hit by one of the protesters. But a video that quickly emerged appeared to show the adviser walking into a protester’s arm.
West Yorkshire Police later said they were “unaware of any reports” of an incident involving election campaigners at the hospital. …”
Tories promising money to help Exmouth – bribe!
They MUST be rattled – but note it isn’t a FACT just the same sort of “promise” to other marginal seats.
And NO promises for Sidmouth, Seaton, Axminster, Cranbrook, Honiton, Ottery or Budleigh or rural areas of East Devon.
Beware Tories bearing “gifts”!
Lies, whopping porkies and Boris Johnson
Johnson confiscates phone of journalist showing him puc of 4-year old being treated on hospital floor
So far, no BBC coverage of Hugh Grant in Sidmouth to support Claire Wright
Why not when Jupp got coverage for Johnson and Hancock visits?
Frit Jupp shuts down comments on his Facebook page – and where IS he?
REMEMBER: a vote for any candidate other than Claire Wright is a vote for this elusive chap who doesn’t answer questions and who always seems to tell us where he has been and not where he is – a la Swire and Johnson!
Oh dear – thin skin. There were rather a lot of comments from people who had some very tricky questions for him on his Jupp for East Devon Facebook page – none of which he answered as he never engaged on the page at all.
People can’t even ask him questions, let alone get any answers as he’s either:
(a) Christmas shopping instead of attending a hustings he promised to attend (Sidmouth)
or
(b) surrounded by so many Tory minders as he takes his selfies at various town and village road signs that there is no opportunity to ask him anything at all
or
(c) only posting where he has BEEN rather than where he’s GOING!
Well looks like he’s wanting to be a Swire-clone MP (Swire 649th worst constituency MP out of 650 according to change.com!).
Vote Tory if you don’t care about the young or the old

“Boris Johnson said female suffrage only happened after cars invented ‘because men realised women could run them down’ “
An accompanying video shows Johnson speaking these words. Obviously a guy with a BIG problem with women!
“Boris Johnson said female suffrage only happened because men realised women could “run them down” with cars, in a video which has resurfaced on social media.
Mr Johnson made the bizarre comment to Sir Drummond Bone in an interview for Voices From Oxford in 2013 after he was asked about his 2007 book on cars, Life in the Fast Lane.
“I think that women’s liberation – female suffrage – probably wouldn’t have happened, if it hadn’t been for the motorcar,” the prime minister, who was then-Mayor of London, said.
“Basically because men realised that women were at the wheel of a machine that could run them down.” …
… “They were so hostile to women on bicycles that they would hang bicycles from trees to indicate their displeasure that women were being able to use these liberating pieces of technology,” he added.
“But of course, when the combustion engine allowed women to travel at many miles an hour and to be in a position of command, I think the game was up.”
Johnson advocating NHS privatisation – in his own words
A Christmas Pantomime for 2019
From a correspondent (thank you!)
“Once upon a time in a land far, far away from the Palace of Westminster, there lived a woman of courage who was famous for her noble qualities and outstanding achievements.
She lived in the Shire of East Devon and worked tirelessly trying to improve the lives of the local inhabitants. She was admired by the folk of the Shire, who thought that she was the ‘Wright’ sort of person to fully understand their fears, hopes and dreams, having lived alongside them in their community for many years.
The townsfolk and villagers had long been ruled by local, affluent land-owning Barons, who had failed to consider their less prosperous neighbours’ viewpoints and beliefs. However, as the Barons continued to amass great wealth, many people in the Shire became poorer, some even having to resort to begging on the streets or visiting food banks to ensure their families were fed!
The wealthy Barons also encouraged voracious Development Dragons to roam the land, devouring the Shire’s green fields, ravaging the countryside and exhaling clouds of pollutants into the environment. However, the Dragons were tolerated by the Barons because these giant monsters agreed to leave sizeable pots of gold to the Barons in compensation for the destruction that had been caused by their huge appetites and consequently the pots of gold allowed the Barons to grow even richer and fatter!
The Palace of Westminster feared all challenges from the Shires and so the Sheriff sent forth a ‘last minute’ Champion on the very long, arduous journey from Westminster to East Devon to do battle to ‘Juppardise’ any chances of independence for the Shire.
It was proposed that a Jousting Tournament should take place on Thursday 12th December 2019 from dawn to dusk, with the overall winner gaining control of the Shire. The Palace was able to supply big-budget lances for the Joust and such an arsenal may prove difficult to overcome and the odds seem stacked against the diminutive figure of the Shire’s heroine.
However Goliaths can be toppled and she has always been able to rely on support from numerous Magical Otters with phenomenal powers beyond belief and they all intend standing shoulder to shoulder with her in this special battle. As the time for the Jousting Tournament approaches there are very large numbers of Shire folk preparing to make the journey to support her in their droves.
Will there be ‘A Happily Ever After’ ending to this Fairytale?
That part of the Story is yet to be written. …”
Where Jupp goes Johnson follows as he refuses to attend his own constituency’s hustings!
A VOTE FOR ANYONE OTHER THAN CLAIRE WRIGHT IS A VOTE FOR JUPP AND JOHNSON.
Jupp (East Devon, Tory) preferred to go late night shopping rather than attend Sidmouth hustings. Johnson preferred to shop at Dart’s Farm rather than attend the Channel 4 climate change debate. Now Johnson has also refused to attend his own hustings.
Japp and Johnson – total non-believers in the democratic process.
“Organisers had initially rearranged to accommodate the Conservative candidate after the event clashed with Mr Johnson’s debate with Jeremy Corbyn on the BBC, but the PM declined nonetheless.
Labour candidate Ali Milani, who did attend the debate, wrote on Facebook afterwards: “Local hustings are a pillar of local democracy. Every local resident should have the right to ask all their candidates questions and hear their views. …”
“I am the only candidate who can win this seat from the Conservatives”, Claire Wright tells packed hall at Sidmouth hustings
From a correspondent:
The popular Independent candidate’s opening statement of this obvious fact was greeted with warm applause tonight by the large audience who attended the hustings at All Saints Church Hall, organised by the Vision Group for Sidmouth.
Six candidates were present: Henry Gent (Green Party); Eleanor Rylance (Liberal Democrat); Peter Faithfull (Independent ); Dan Wilson (Labour), and Claire Wright (Independent).
The Tory candidate, Simon Jupp, had agreed to be there, but withdrew at the last minute, citing an alternative commitment to appearances at late-night shopping events at Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton that evening. Mr Jupp’s agent’s letter, courteously read out by Vision Group’s Peter Murphy,who Chaired the meeting, prompted loud guffaws from the floor.
All candidates acquitted themselves well, but a vote for any except Claire Wright would simply play into Boris Johnson’s hands. Only Claire Wright, with her decade of dedicated service as first a District, and now a County Councillor, could claim to have the “knowledge, experience, and contacts on the ground” to seriously challenge the Tory hold in East Devon.
Boris Johnson cancels speech as 5 protesters show up – security worried people knew where the PM was!
“Boris Johnson has cancelled a speech to members of the public in Rochester after a small number of protesters turned up.
The prime minister was due to give a stump address to Tory supporters near the Ye Arrow pub in the Kent town.
A small number of protesters – which The Independent counted at five – also arrived holding signs which read “Tories out”, “Austerity killed over 130,000, the blood is on your hands” and “No to racism, no to Boris Johnson”.
Conservative officials claimed the speech had been cancelled on police advice after the late running of the event prompted security concerns.
They said “security officials” had voiced worries about some members of the crowd, and were wary of members of the public being aware of the prime minister’s planned location so far in advance of his arrival. …”
