Yeah, there are much better ways of making the point (that train fares are too expensive) than what he does here.

The example I used of the funeral at short notice, for example, is still seriously expensive. And more broadly speaking, this is no way to get passengers back who have got out of the habit of taking trains during Covid.

The matter of train fares is probably better discussed elsewhere on this forum but where things fall down badly for public transport is when a family travels. In some cases at short notice you could hire a chauffeured car for less (and by that I mean a proper vehicle like a Merc S-class or BMW 7er with a uniformed driver, not some ghastly partymobile).

An independent body to drain the swamp of the elites who are at it, should go down well with populist voters. But it won’t even register.

Why do I get the feeling it'd be about as independent as IPSO is?

Because the Swamp isn't them, it's that lot over there.

Dunno, parties have certainly cut through with lots of those voters. Expenses certainly did too.

Well something is clearly cutting through. 11 points clear!
