George Osborne - My Fake Diary

Thursday, 23 August 2012

Now even Conservative MPs are calling on me to stop rail firms increasing commuter fares by up to 11% in England.

The increases, due to come in next January, follow a spike in the rate of inflation used to set ticket prices.

But commuter belt Tory MPs say the price rises, meant to fund rail improvements, will deter people from working and harm economic growth.

Huh!
