The government have done a land grab on the mayors office.
They now have someone sitting on the TfL board. They have successfully spun this as his fault. However, he had to cut services after the stay at home message. You can’t run a full service if no one is travelling. Equally, the message meant their revenues dropped.
I am no fan of Khan. But the tories have spun this appallingly.
We now have the following:
- The government to sit on the tfl board
- Fare increase of 1% above RPI
- Free Travel for Kids removed
- Congestion charge increases by 30%
The thing is, now they’ve been removed, I bet you any money they won’t bring them back and the CC charge will stay the same. Poorer kids and family’s are now hit with another cost of the schools do open.
I suspect Cummings hates the idea of a mayor and power being decentralised. Who is really running this country. You have to ask.
