Utterly awful that Lib Dem councillors in London have asked for a review of The Freedom Pass.
Islington Labour support the Freedom Pass and I’m pleased to have just published a proposed budget for 26/27 which includes £12.5m so older Islington residents can travel for free in London.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
