    Shadow Transport Secretary Andy McDonald says, “what Theresa May and Chris Grayling can’t do is hold a gun to the country’s head and say, ‘you support our deal or the country gets it’.”

  4. But Chris Grayling tells us that he has carried out all the necessary due diligence tests and is totally satisfied. His Pepperoni Pizza arrived on time and was delicious. Oh my days!!

  5. Chris Grayling tells us the failure of the privatised rail system is due to excessive wage demands of the workers. What utter nonsense! These fat cats extract more money for themselves in a few days than workers working on our railway earn in a year!!

    Thank you for your support at King's Cross station today. And shame on for the 3.1% fare rise, after the May 2018 timetable crisis proved the whole system is rotten.

    📖 READ: On the day rail fares increased yet again, this morning I was at Castleton station where commuters faced cancellation after cancellation. The sooner rail is brought into public ownership the better 👉

    Shadow Transport Secretary is in Leeds talking about today's outrageous 3.1% rail fare rise. Since 2010 rail fares have increased by more than a third

    On today’s rail fare rises, Jeremy Corbyn tells me it’s disgraceful that “we pour public money into private companies to inefficiently run the rail system”

    Undo
  14. This is a pathetic attempt to shift the blame for Tory fares policies onto the staff who run the railway. It's telling that Grayling doesn't suggest slashing the salaries of train company bosses or dividends paid to shareholders of private train companies.

    Today the latest Tory rail fares increase kicks in. This time by more than 3% - meaning they've now risen by 36% since 2010. It's disgraceful. We're campaigning to bring our railways into public ownership so they work for the many, not the few.

    Meget tragisk hændelse på Storebæltsbroen her til morgen. Mine tanker går til de involverede og til de pårørende! Lad os gennemgå sikkerheden endnu en gang. Denne togulykke burde ikke kunne ske!

    Today rail fares go up by 3.1%, while punctuality is at a 12-year low. But at least the shareholders are happy! 😠
