A friend...see photo...who is a very active campaigning member of the Devon Pensioner's Action Forum told me that when members requested a meeting with their MPs they were universally told that they were too busy. Hands up the photogenic Mel Stride, newly elected MP for Central Devon, who didn't even have the courtesy to reply until an email was sent to his agent Mike Knucky. Neil Parrish, Honiton and Tiverton and Hugo Squire, East Devon were likewise too busy. At least they got a nice piece in the Western Morning News, although rather less word count than Mel Stride contributes to local rags in his constituency. Perhaps he was too busy writing a column.
