Levies forever to boost corporate profits. Uneven economic development causes environmental problems, starves the rest of the UK of investment.

A good start (though would be better if we didn't have to wait until 2027). So much more could be done if Andy Burnham and John Healey take the opportunity to instantly save £1bn (and £bns going forward) by scrapping the poor value for money, privatised Lower Thames Crossing.

A £2 bus fare cap will be back 'if the public purse allows' - Andy Burnham and new Chancellor John Healey have the opportunity to instantly save £1bn (and £bns going forward) if they scrap the poor value for money, privatised Lower Thames Crossing.
