Fare Fight

Right-wing Labourites hate buses. Nothing will give them greater pleasure than to abolish the two pound single and four pound return bus fares, leading to increases of £10 or more in some places. They are not attacking bus pass wielding pensioners this time. By whatever definition, these are working people.

One rogue Conservative voted to keep the two-child benefit cap when whipped to abstain, but only Labour MPs voted to means-test the Winter Fuel Payment, and that time the Conservatives voted against. Expect the same thing on this, the removal of something that the Conservatives introduced.

Labour is the most right-wing party in the House of Commons, and it would not have won an overall majority, much less a landslide, if it had stood honestly on that basis. We tried to tell you.
