Most ten year plans have things delivered during the ten years, not at the end of ten years.

HTH…

Andy Burnham rows back on plans to increase tax-free personal allowance
The new PM previously hinted that he would unfreeze the personal allowance


wow that took a whole day

Andy Burnham has reportedly rowed back on plans to raise the tax-free personal allowance. The new PM hinted that he could unfreeze the £12,570 personal allowance in an interview just before he entered 10 Downing Street, as he looks to ease the cost of living for Britons.

He said it was "lodged in my mind" as it was “the thing I heard the most on the doorsteps” when campaigning in the Makerfield by-election. But an ally of the Prime Minister told the Financial Times: “There is not any commitment to do it. What he was saying is that people are feeling unheard.”

I think that’s a pretty desperate attempt by the right wing press to get one over him - and I speak as a sometime fan of the right wing press :D

Saying something is lodged in your mind because people have been talking to you about it isn’t anything like announcing a policy whilst in full possession of the facts (seeing as you’re the sitting PM), and then having to un-announce it because you thought you could just ignore the facts right until they came and slapped you in the face. This is what Starmer did time and time again.

The bus fare cap in England will revert to £2 from January, new prime minister Andy Burnham has announced.

:woot: I find adding a couple of quid to the already £3 cap gets me a taxi. £2 is good.

It's probably close to 20 years since I was on a bus, I can't even be bothered to get a bus pass :D

What's a bus? More chance of winning the lottery than seeing a useful bus service out in the sticks.

The last time I went on a bus around here was 25ish years ago and that was just to get into Cambridge for a pub crawl.

I can't remember the last time I went in a pub or how much a pint now costs.

My wife uses buses a few times a week, so she'll be happy.
