The people of South Yorkshire need the buses to be back in public control. As is saying - the buses under Labour used to be affordable & went to many destinations. But not under the Tories. Must be part of their levelling down program yet again
Quote Tweet
As a kid growing up in Rotherham, it cost 33p to travel anywhere in South Yorkshire. Now it costs a fortune & Tory cuts have decimated public transport.
Great to have @eddieizzard supporting our campaign to #StopToryBusCuts
