We spoke to Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall – whose department has announced an initiative to help people back into work. I put it to her that working people will find a 50% hike in capped bus fares very difficult to live with.I really do understand how vital buses are for people to not just get to work, but to get to college, to get to their local hospital. But you’ve got to have it on a sustainable footing.
We’ve got a lot of work to do. I mean, we’ve got a lot of work to do on public services and the economy and with our businesses, but also with the public. But it is the analogy of the house. It is true, if you don’t sort out the damp or the roof or your foundations, you just try and paint over. I’ve done it myself, Krishnan. I’ve painted over damp. It doesn’t work. You’ve got to rip it out. You have got to fix it and put it right. And that is hard and it costs money.Well, it’s not.
