A swastika is not a "misunderstanding". It’s a symbol of hate. After photos of their new councillor, seemingly sporting a swastika tattoo, were revealed, Barnsley’s Reform UK council leader has failed to take action. Moments like this are a test. Either stand against hate, or make excuses for it.

Britain’s rail fares remain the highest in Europe. The government should be more ambitious in its plans for Great British Railways, including reducing train fares. Investment in cutting rail fares is not a lucky break for people who use the railway; it is an investment in the entire economy.

UK - £55
France - £29
Switzerland - £28
Germany - £19
Italy - £14
The Railways Bill must deliver REAL public ownership and cut rail fares.
