Can you point to one phrase in Corbyn's manifesto which suggests this? You may well think (and I don't have the knowledge to agree or disagree) that JC would have been an inept or weak leader, but what is there in his stated policies to imply anything as deranged as Truss?

I don't trust Starmer at all. But many of his MPs and potential cabinet members may well think it wise to tiptoe gently up to the election and reveal their true colours later. I hope so anyway.

Sadly not. Since the media mafia conspired to do him down. Is anyone still suggesting that Corbyn's vision would lead to disaster, compared to the chaos we have suffered in the last 15 years? Or the lukewarm Tory tribute act led by Starmer?

I'm less than enthused by the present Labour Party, though I feel Angela Rayner is one of the better ones. But I can't go along with accusations of hypocrisy for purchasing a council house. It's rather like saying 'I don't agree with privatising the railways and so I am never going to use a...

As I remember it before, the entrance to the LU station was via escalators from the main concourse. Those escalators are in the same place: all that has happened is that a new opening has been made in the outside wall, and the opening from the concourse has been sealed off. I don't know if it's...

Why would it, if all were needed were the raising of one barrier and lowering of another?

Is that the case? I know the Tories have been captured by the pro-Brexit*, pro-metric martyr faction. But the vast majority of the world (*very little of which is in the EU or ever was) uses the metric system; the UK shares an island with a state that counts distances and speed limits in...

If it's close by could they not both be closed and one footbridge built midway between them?

That is a prime example of anglo-centric exceptionalism. Why should we, in the post imperial ages, expect that 'lesser nations' should grovel and be tongue-tied in the face of the 'superior' English language? Even more demeaning, for the monolingual English, is to take pride in our lack of...

Im not the person being asked this question, but as a socialist I despair at the current Labour Party and its leadership. Like many people I feel betrayed because I voted for Starmer as leader because I (naively, with hindsight) believed his promises, and felt that he was less likely to be...

Because not everyone has a bank card or wants to use it.

Presumably we are waiting for bus integration before they will be valid on buses.

No but you might decide once you got on the train (maybe it was otherwise crowded) to sit in first class and be prepared to pay for an upgrade.

The problem would be probably fitting them all into Lime Street (or the approach tracks).

Quite. However there is one big, half-of-the-city-sized gap, which is the lack of a Metro service south-east of the Headbolt Lane line and north-east of the Hunts Cross one. If the National Rail services via Mossley Hill, Huyton, St Helens etc provided a Metro frequency that would help (though...

Not in sufficient numbers. The major traffic flow from Liverpool suburbs has always been, and will always be, to the city centre. Even in London peripheral routes are second-class.

The problem about relying on connections is that you can't. It's OK on the Tube in central London where people will put up with walking miles along subterranean corridors because they know another train will turn up within a minute or two. It would be different in the suburbs (London Overground...

The 82 and 86 bus routes in Liverpool are run by both Stagecoach and Arriva. They have different terminating points but much the greater part of the route is common. Hopefully reintegration of local transport will cure this nonsense. [to clarify, both companies run buses on both routes)

I bet you still call Queen Square bus station The Gyratory. And of course it's Home and Bargain not Home Bargains.;)

But the airport doesn't exist in no-mans-land. It adjoins the large suburb of Speke (population approx 15 thousand), which is the second most deprived area in England and desperately needs decent transport connections. There are plenty of buses but they take the best part of an hour to reach...
