MUCH of the “mainstream” media has been woefully negligent in holding Boris Johnson and co to account for their disastrous handling of the coronavirus pandemic and deepening economic crisis. One element of this is that there has not been much attention drawn to the different aspects of a deepening cost-of-living crisis facing many people.
One such recent development was when the Tory government announced last month that long-suffering passengers can expect yet another rise in train fares next year.
Labour analysis has compared the costs on over 180 train routes between when the Tories came to power and the projected new prices that will be implemented from January 2021 — and they illustrate the true extent of the great rail rip-off.
