The Alternative Budget 2025, Part 7: The politics of care https://t.co/GAzPVi4IrB Governments have not cared about people for far too long. In my draft alternative Budget, I would change that, for good. Politics is nothing if it is not about care.

Sorry, you want children over 8 to walk 10 miles a day to and from school?
I’m calling on Bridget Phillipson to give local councils like WCC the power to adapt statutory walking distances for Home to School Transport. Costs have rocketed from £17.9m in 2018 to £50m. We’ve got to make this sustainable while supporting families. Read my letter in full.
