Liddell-Grainger was re-selected for the following general election in May 2015 by the Conservative Association of Bridgwater and West Somerset. In September 2018, Liddell-Grainger criticised the Conservative run Somerset County Council for cutting services and carrying out wasteful reorganisations. The Leader of the Council responded that the MP's comments were 'ignorant and lacked understanding', that the MP had refused to meet him to discuss the subject and that Government funding cuts were to blame for cuts to services.
