Isabel's Pledges
On this page are some of Isabel's campaign pledges to make our local area a fairer, greener and safer place for all.
KEEP IT GREEN
GETTING CONNECTED
HS2 is no good to us. In this part of Devon, no town has a rail station, and our bus network doesn't meet our needs. I'll be working hard as your local MP to get this changed as Labour is committed to green transport.
A FAIR NHS FOR US
Our local NHS has been ground down with the closure of local hospitals, lack of dentistry and doctors, forcing us to travel for help or worse, pay again. I believe in an NHS that delivers, Labour founded the NHS and will always defend and fund it to meet our needs.
HOMES NOT GHOST TOWNS
Our towns, villages and parishes are at risk of becoming deserted if we can't build or utilise existing housing to meet local needs. I believe a home should be lived in and I am committed to this.
ROADS NOT HOLES
In the 21st century we have roads from the 19th because of the Lib Dem/ Conservative coalition. We need our fair share of the money so our roads are fit for purpose and we can stop playing 'dodge the pothole'.
LEARNING FOR LIFE
Education and skills training isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. A tenth of the money has gone from Devon schools since 2010 and skillstraining isn't meeting local business needs. Labour has always been committed to education and training and as your local MP I'll be there to get us the education and training we all deserve.
POUNDS IN YOUR POCKET
We pay more in tax but are getting less in return. Our bills have gone up because the economy has been left in a mess. Labour will manage the economy for prosperity. I'll be you local MP working hard to get more money in our pockets by revitalising high-streets and businesses.

In Torridge and Tavistock it’s predicted to be this close between me and the Conservatives.

Labour Party Manifesto 2024
Labour’s manifesto for change is a plan to kickstart economic growth by reforming Britain’s economy and bring about a decade of renewal.
This manifesto is an ambitious programme driven by belief in our country and its potential for the future. It is the change the country needs.
Our plan for Britain is a fully costed, fully funded, credible plan to turn the country around after 14 years of the Conservatives. It contains a tax lock for working people – a pledge not to raise rates of income tax, national insurance or VAT.
It is proof of a changed Labour Party with Keir Starmer that will change Britain – if people vote for change in the general election on Thursday 4 July.
Labour’s manifesto is built around five national missions to end sticking plaster politics, end the chaos, turn the page and meet the long-term challenges the country faces.
Labour’s first steps for change show how we will begin to achieve those missions, with plans to deliver economic stability, cut NHS waiting times, launch a new Border Security Command, set up Great British Energy, crackdown on antisocial behaviour and recruit 6,500 new teachers.

Westminster voting intention since the 2019 General Election.
Since Sir Kier Starmer's selection as Labour leader in 2020 we have steadily been gaining vote share overtaking the Conservative lead in 2021 after the Partygate scandal was revealed. That lead has grown consistently in the intervening years to double the Conservative vote share today.
Come and meet your Labour candidates for Devon County Council tomorrow.
Emma and Zoe will be at Pollyfield Community Centre from 3-7pm.
Drop in anytime for a free tea or coffee and a chat. We look forward to meeting you.

events.labour.org.ukHarold Wilson born this day 1916 served as Labour Prime Minister twice.
Harold Wilson, the son of a chemist and teacher, was born in Yorkshire during the First World War. In 1924, aged 8, he visited 10 Downing Street, which would eventually become his home.
During his first term ...as Labour Prime Minister from 1964 to 1970, his main plan was to modernise. He believed that he would be aided by the “white heat of the technological revolution”. His government passed several liberalising laws on censorship, divorce, birth control, abortion and the voting age. The Sexual Offences Act 1967 saw the decriminalisation of certain homosexual offences. He also abolished capital punishment through the Murder (Abolition of Death Penalty) Act 1965. Crucial steps were taken towards stopping discrimination against women and ethnic minorities. Wilson’s government also created the Open University to give adults who had missed out on tertiary education a second chance through part-time study and distance learning.
His second term as Labour Prime Minister from 1974-1976 saw him concentrate heavily on domestic policy, achieving social reforms in education, health, housing, gender equality, price controls, pensions, provisions for disabled people and child poverty. As a result, income tax on top earners increased to 83%. Wilson also oversaw the referendum that confirmed the UK’s membership of the European Communities.

Devon County Council are threatening to fire 823 staff if they refuse to accept reduced terms and conditions. The staff in the firing line are predominantly women and low paid workers.
This unfair practice will be outlawed under the new Labour Employment Rights Bill, unfortunately this is ...unlikely to be made law before the DCC makes these cruel cuts - unless we fight back.
Sign GMB’s petition today to ensure fair treatment for all workers.

Devon County Council have resorted to bullying tactics, and threatened staff with Fire & Rehire if they don’t agree to cuts to terms & conditions. GMB organiser and CLP TULO officer Jake Mclean has been at the forefront of calling out this adherent tactic used by DCC.
