Almost 15 years ago exactly we launched our campaign for a re-unified national rail network run for people not profit🚆 The Labour Party's King's Speech finally announces legislation which we hope will make this a reality as #GreatBritishRailways What a historic day👏
GM is ready to lead a big reform of the benefits system. We need a new less punitive, more positive approach to helping people into work, spending money through our voluntary sector rather than large corporates. Thanks to ITV Granada Reports for this great coverage of our plans.🙏🏻
