The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality. - James Baldwin

The £2 bus fare cap is absolutely something that should be retained - and its simplicity, and affordability, should be extended to all public transport ticketing.

If you want an idea of why removing the £2 bus fare cap may be so damaging beyond polls, read Greg's quote from our focus group. At a time of deep political distrust it's one of few recent examples of a policy people can point to that tangibly improves their lives for the better

Scrapping the £2 bus fare cap is a disgraceful decision that will harm the poorest in society, and discourage public transport at a time when it is needed more than ever. Why is the government punishing people for trying to get to work?

Scrapping the £2 bus fare cap is a terrible decision and again will only harm the poorest. As Acorn points out, public transport outside of London is disappearing!

Even at £2 it's a rip-off – that's £8 for me and my family to go to town and back, a four mile round trip (and my kids are under 5, so free). That would now cost us £12. Anyone with an alternative will just use their car, which is exactly the behaviour we should be discouraging.

It's a 50% increase. Even with inflation the way it has been, what things have gone up that steeply apart from bloody kids' magazines?! I don't even use the bus but I'm ready to ride at dawn over this decision.

Paying an extra £1 every time I get the bus to help bankroll some guy's decision to use a car. Fucksake.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Americans are so mentally ill hahaha oh no not a glass of wine around kids. A bunch of guns in the house? Ye course no problem proper normal tha, just no crushed fucking grapes, too dangerous

Forbes 30 under 30 has been doing this for years.

Don’t ask me what I’m buying in B&M, Home Bargains or The Range. It doesn’t work like that The shops will let me know when I get there.

Beauty industrial complex gone mad: now we're using £27 SPFs in the middle of a British winter (the UV index has been 0 or 1 all week).

Lots of odd things about this (I was sure it was a wind-up) but how is this guy 24?!

Awwww did someone take your hard work and use it to train a model to mimic your expertise without compensation

Putin started this war. Putin committed war crimes. Putin is the dictator who murdered his opponents. The EU nations have contributed more to Ukraine. Zelensky polls over 50%. Ukraine wants to be part of the West, Putin hates the West. I don’t accept George Orwell’s doublethink.

No, Trump has destroyed America in the eyes of the world.
