Such as? The £2 bus-fare cap? Labour replaced that with a £3 cap in January 2025. Burnham’s bringing £2 back in January 2027. Two years to return to the previous price, followed by a round of applause. Presumably the bus is travelling in circles. The electricity VAT cut? Six months of relief. Explain how that becomes a lasting answer to Britain’s energy costs. And these problems have been “ignored for far too long”, have they? Labour has been in government since July 2024. Changing the gentleman on the doorstep doesn’t wipe the previous two years from the record. You cannot keep restarting the stopwatch whenever you replace the runner. This post gives us no specific reform, no measured outcome and no figure for how much better off a household actually is. Just a photograph of Bumbling Burnham and another generous helping of his party’s own applause. Name the problem. Explain what changed. Show the result. “Vital breathing space” sounds splendid. Does it appear on the electricity bill, or must we print out this photograph and wave it at the meter? Yours, awaiting the figures behind the fanfare, A Gentleman from the Old School. 🎩
