Fix price crisis or lose next election

BORIS Johnson’s Government has been stuck in Partygate paralysis for almost six months.

So finally this week there is a chance to move on after the publication of Sue Gray’s report into Downing Street wine and cake jollies during lockdown.

This probe, necessary though it is, has been a massive distraction, just like the Met’s own £500,000 inquiry.

Derailing own future

MILITANT rail unions risk cutting their own throats if they ruin summer with strikes.

Taxpayers wasted billions of pounds to keep empty trains running during the pandemic.

And the public, who pick up this bill, will be rightly outraged if union barons disrupt England football internationals and Wimbledon.

As Transport Secretary Grant Shapps warns, the industry is already on “life support”.

This pointless disruption could prove economically fatal.
