Local man Steve Darling has been selected by Torbay Liberal Democrats as their Prospective Candidate for the next General Election.
Steve is a long-standing champion of Torbay and its people having served for 28 years as a councillor in Torquay and for 18 years as a caseworker for our former MP Adrian Sanders. For the past 4 years he has been the leader of Torbay Council.
Steve said: “We must demand better for Torbay from the Government. The lack of support in this cost-of-living crisis has shown that Conservative MPs are taking us for granted. Torbay needs a strong voice in Parliament and I will be that voice.”
“When speaking to residents across the bay they tell me they are tired of the lies, scandals and dishonesty associated with the Conservative Party. The Liberal Democrats will tax fairly those who have gained the most while others have struggled, and will invest in our coastal communities, create sustainable jobs, protect pensions, our NHS and social care, and take climate change seriously.”
Former Torbay MP Adrian Sanders congratulated Steve on his selection and said: “While working with me, Steve showed he really cared about people and helping them, and under his leadership of the Council, despite the massive cuts in external funding, has helped to turn round a poor performing local authority to one that has been shortlisted as one of the most improved in the country.”
Chair of Torbay Liberal Democrats Pam Bagnall said: “Steve is not a career politician, he knows and understands our area and wants to work for the people of the bay. As we have learnt in the past, if we want a strong caring voice in Parliament we have to unite behind the Liberal Democrats in Torbay because votes for Labour, Greens and others only split the vote and let the Tories win.”
Recent by-elections in Devon and Cornwall have seen the Liberal Democrats taking seats from the Conservatives with Labour out of the race.
