@Miss_Snuffy Good results but the claim about the impact of grammar schools is absurd. The nearest grammars are half way across north London with combined annual admissions of <300, and scores of other secondaries closer to them than Michaela is.
£3bn in lost revenue by freezing fuel duty. Again.
Meanwhile, 50% fares hike for those using buses, 4.6% increase in rail fares and a paltry £100m for walking & cycling infrastructure.
This government is taking us in completely the wrong direction on transport.

@crosscountryuk if so many of your trains are clearly oversold perhaps you could add more carriages or run more trains?
This Reading-Birmingham service is ridiculous, aisles packed all the way. Paying a small fortune for tickets to stand half way across the country is a joke.
@WallbanksSam @CrossCountryUK Reading to Birmingham is the same. People in the aisles through the whole train. @CrossCountryUK need to sort it out. Paying a small fortune for tickets to stand half way across the country…shambolic.
