I noticed her shaking a lot earlier in the year when it was thought she wouldn't be the Labour candidate.

The aftermath is what makes it for me how he continues to lay into him after he’s sparked him out.

Then, standing over him, says “You won’t threaten the MP ever again now will ya” like he’s a WWE character called “The Politician”

New Freeports or no new freeports that is the question. Labour. Just keep on trying to punch above their weight. 😂

You're missing the point...he was happy to stress that "thugs need to feel the full weight of the law", and he should therefore be prepared to face the same himself for his own thuggish behaviour.

Well yes, obviously. But that point doesn't have much to do with the tweet you highlighted.

Utterly extraordinary. It's almost as if there actually isn't a climate crisis combined with a cost of living crisis.

Buses were far too cheap and the fares never kept up with the accumulative rate of inflation since the £2 fare was introduced.

Yes. In fact, why not put it up to £5?

It would help clear a lot of the riff raff off the buses and make them a more pleasant environment for the rest of us. Sure, some of the poor and fat will have to walk instead, but they look like the exercise would do them some good.

And with a better clientele TFL could explore other revenue generating opportunities. A prosecco and quinoa bar on the upper deck anybody?
