CARERS
There are many constituents in #ExmouthandExeterEast who are carers or are reliant on carers.
They are grateful for everything that the Liberal Democrats MPs are doing to support them.
Emma from Sidmouth is one of thousands of people across Devon who care for their loved ones, on top of their day job. I am pleased that the Government used some warm words about carers in the Budget. Carers need certainty for the long term too.

In #Exmouth & #Exeter East there are many hospitality and tourism businesses.

Pint prices are going up and pubs are under pressure.

The Government’s ‘stealth tax’ on hospitality will deal even more damage. We need an emergency hospitality VAT cut now.
