Whilst I understand opposition politicians have more time, I feel PM Starmer is missing a trick by not at least trying these sorts of Q&As frequently.

Policy example: I’d want local bus travel free (<90 mins). Not overnight, but step by step. 1) Subsidise under-30s. 2) Expand to under-35s with free under-25s. 3) Free for all.

Neither should be going. Instead, they should pop in to see Trudeau.
