It's outrageous that places like High Green & Maltby, that have suffered from a decade of austerity, have Tory MPs. But it's because we didn't convince them that voting Labour would make a difference.

Huge relief the bus barons' legal challenge was utterly rejected in court. Can you believe they'd fight so hard against a mayor's democratic mandate? That money could have been invested in our bus services.
At least Gtr Manchester can now put passengers before profit! ✊🚌
👤 "This is truly fantastic news for everyone outside London who wishes to see a return to a bus service that puts people ahead of profit."
🚍 Andy has welcomed the court decision that Greater Manchester's bus reform process was carried out lawfully.
