Starmer slammed for hitting poorest with Budget bus fare hike
PRIME Minister Sir Keir Starmer was slammed for hitting the poorest today after announcing the bus fare cap will rise from £2 to £3.
Campaigners reacted in fury as the Prime Minister revealed the “regressive” policy in a speech ahead of tomorrow’s Budget.
He vowed it would embrace the “harsh light of fiscal reality” but said that “better days are ahead,” while also announcing £240 million to get people back to work.
