Allowing 18 year olds to become train drivers is good news. ASLEF have long campaigned for this to address a future shortage because of the large numbers of current drivers approaching retirement. Industry supports it too. Training is tough. I’ve had a brief go!

Today, the Welsh Labour Government’s Bus Bill became law 🚍
This is a historic win for public transport in Wales.
It will transform the bus system and deliver better, more reliable services, connecting people to the new jobs being created by our two Labour Governments 🏴

Nigel Farage has just said Reform will vote AGAINST lifting the 2 child cap, despite promising to lift it in May.
Reform doesn’t care about working class kids - or their families.
