Bus Fares Capped as Budget Shifts | Belfast News

from Belfast News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Andy Burnham’s two-pound bus fare cap across England is a lifeline for struggling commuters, reversing a previous hike and set to last until 2027 — funded partly by redirecting climate grants into loans, sparking environmental backlash. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister signals income tax allowance hikes may be on the table in the next budget, though no promises yet. Amid these policy shifts, a reshuffled government appoints new ministers, reflecting a new administration in motion — all while everyday Brits feel the weight of rising costs and seek tangible relief.
