Britain’s railways can help the economy grow
Rail is not always top of a government’s to-do list. Yet, with over 680,000 responses, the ticket office consultation proves that access to a punctual and safe train service is higher on voters’ agenda than sometimes assumed. Indeed, if you want a growing economy with lower inflation and better-paid jobs, you need decent and reliable public transport and infrastructure. Britain’s railways can truly support national growth, but only if they are free to grow themselves.

Red wall, blue wall: Can the Tory coalition hold?
The Conservatives’ victory in 2019 led many to believe there had been a fundamental realignment in British politics as the party swept through a so-called red wall of formerly Labour seats.
