🚍🚍🚍 'Buses are the backbone of our public transport system, but they just aren't sexy enough to command the attention of the nation's press.'

Steve Rotheram writes on how mayors are blazing a trail for Louise Haigh's bold The Labour Party bus reforms:

🚍 The Liverpool City Region is only the second area in the country to take back control of its buses.

🌹 Great to see Louise Haigh and The Labour Party commit to expanding and simplifying the process so other areas can follow us.

🚍 The Liverpool City Region is only the second area in *England* to take back control of its buses.

With Labour, communities will be able to take back control of their buses. We will:

✅ Empower local transport authorities
✅ Support public ownership
✅ Speed up the franchising process

This could create and save up to 1,300 bus routes & allow 250 million more journeys a year.

Britain's bus services are in crisis.

Labour has a plan to Take Back Control 👇

Today, I'm setting out Labour's plan for better buses.

Labour's plan will give every community a say over their buses.

Our plan means vital routes created and saved across the country, and better bus services wherever you live 🚍🌹

Out and about in Beechwood, #Runcorn today campaigning for team The Labour Party - Louise Whitely, our local council candidate, to re- elect Steve Rotheram for LCR and elect Dan Price for the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire. Vote The Labour Party Thursday May 2nd.

👏 Well deserved Elkan Abrahamson, a staunch advocate for fairness and a tireless champion of the Hillsborough fight for truth and justice.

Once again more questions than answers where the Premier League is concerned, but glad to see EFC continuing to win the argument around fairness - and I support them in their appeal.

The lack of consistency, transparency and leadership from the PL has been a disgrace throughout.

🏠 Council housing was good enough for my mum and her eight kids - and it's still good enough for families today.

🧱 If re-elected, I'll oversee a return to building new council houses.

🔑 And ensure more local families have a home to call their own.
