The Labour leader rejects suggestions from the Conservatives that motorists will take a 'clobbering' to pay for the policy.

"There was an intake of breath, particularly from Tory MPs, it was bizarre," he said.

"A lot of people just laughed because MPs... live in a slightly different bubble where the only transport they use is trains or taxis. Figures from the Department for Transport show the number of local bus passenger journeys in England decreased by 85 million to 4.36 billion in the year ending March 2018.

Great but who’s going to pay for it? Labour MPs out of their expenses.

Yep, he'll say he'll reverse EVERYTHING Tories are doing wether it makes sense or not. All in the name of getting into No 10. Hahahaha useless.

Labour hasn’t got a chance whilst he’s the leader

More freebies, anything for votes from the left wing Marxist nut job

Jeremy and the magic money tree

He would better employed driving a bus.

Like he's ever traveled by bus....

🎵The driver on the bus goes beep beep beep all day long🎵👍🏻

Is there nothing this thick, traitorous, Trot doesn't want to throw billions at. We'd be bankrupt within the year if he ever takes power!

Always the busses For jeremycorbyn Freedom of Movement for the workers ends at the last stop but he’ll get you there on time

more unkeepable promises from JC. Remember the student loans promise that was then denied. Anything for votes

Promises always get broken no matter who is in power

Of course jeremycorbyn does.. And so many other pledges.. But strangely they're never costed.. Antisemitic Unelectable UKLabour, thanks for Austerity for the Many..

Is this another one of his dodgy pledges as he did at the GE on tuition fees and student debt. Bless them, they still believe that he will still do so.

And he’ll make sure they stop out side your front door

O please go away Corbyn..

I hope he's not trying to reverse any busses! Just the cuts Jeremy 😂

We will be bankrupt in 18 months with all these freebies, nationalisation and new initiatives. Is Diane Abbott doing the sums? Has she been on the gin?

He’s going to get Diane Abbott on the case!! 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

Are you smelling what your talking Jezza

Make work places install charging points for cars give them grants why have an electric car one they are expensive and 2 not many places too charge

I bet he cant even drive

We absolutely love Jeremy Corbyn, we are behind you Jeremy every step of the way, this country needs healing from all the austerity and Jeremy can do this,we need our beautiful country back to how it was, me and my son Aron dale he looks like harry styles xxx

And open up all the railway routes closed by Beeching presumably.

How low can you go, I'm guessing much much lower.

What about the cuts to emergency services ?

NOT when his Labour Mayors and councils are taxing the bus and coach companies out of towns and citiies!!!

So..if you’re wealthy you can afford Electric and PHEVs .so will pay little or no road fund, while those on the minimum wage run around in older petrol vehicles. lets clobber the poor again to make them poorer, in a country where wealth gap is already huge, go Labour!!

Free stuff for everyone

Everything will be free and no one will have to work ever again

More an ambition again?

Magic money tree again.

Everyone with a job will fund this. Higher taxes for everyone

Says he won’t clobber motorists to pay for it but will use road tax to pay for it. Road tax that should be used to fix the crappy roads, so really he will be clobbered motorists to pay for it.

Labour can’t wait to waste our money. I live on on a multiple bus route on the outskirts of a major city. Every 40 seater bus going past rarely has more than 3 passengers and are usually empty. Like we need more

edwardpoole1975 Where’s he gonna get money from

Who’s paying for it ?

With stagecoach running things. It’s pipe dreams from a clown

And who's gunna pay for the routes when they're not taking enough money and it's not viable for the bus companys to run them ....oh yes the taxpayer !

I am always intrigued as to who pays for his schemes,no I’m not I know it will be me in the long run

Paid for with additional car tax.... brexitparty_uk

Then man who loves terrorist.he,d rather have isis sower here than Donald Trump'

It’s normally a bandwagon he jumps on!

Still giving stuff away.

He’s going to reverse Sadiq Khan’s cuts! Interesting.

He'll probably drive us over the cliffs of Dover to get to the EU

Like anyone even gives a fuck about that.

Did he say how this will be paid for?

Where’s the money coming from? Cutbacks to the OAPS

The money tree is now dead. IMF will be here in 2025 if the marxist is elected.

So much boiled piss. 😂😂 Labour releasing policies to benefit the majority whilst the tories implode and get angry

He can promise the world but he will be ousted as leader before he gets a chance!

How? Well as only way any Labour run government would do it. Yeap you've guessed it by hitting the lowest paid yet again eg, putting up fuel duty on both petrol & diesel and taxes up on beer, spirits & cigarettes/tobacco & upping (APD) Air Passenger Duty...

Steptoe left, the horse and cart at home?

Blah, blah.

All lies

Your little boy will love ride on the Free bus.

He must be a multi billionaire, he’s going to give us everything and renationalise the entire infrastructure, he’s so kind.

Get your Hanky in Albert!

Man is such a d-ck just like 100s of bus drivers

That picture looks more like 'Jeremy Corbyn pledges to reverse bus to thousands of cut routes.'

Never believe a word this terrorist sympathiser says.

Picking cash from the money tree again?

buswanker

Of course he does... easy to promise the world when you've no power to implement it 🤡

How’s he paying for it?

Ballshit! You ain’t even sticking to your manifesto on Brexit jeremycorbyn why should we believe anything you lot say!!

Ghost Buses with no passengers

The reason they cut them is because they’re not profitable. No point in having empty busses driving around. Waste of fuel, money and harmful to the environment

Pledges are easy to make. I pledge to believe every word Labour says.

Alert....election time, more promises of ‘free stuff’ & unicorns. Read the small print to find out how quickly said ‘promises’ will be denied following elections.😂

Bus off.

I’m pretty sure he pledged to dish out free university places too ! This guy lives in some strange fantasy land . God help us all if he ever got into No10

Bus driver he’s found he’s true vocation!

He will turn the sky yellow and grass blue. He will do anything and everything blah blah blah

Whoop

The best prime minister this country had ever had when jeremycorbyn is elected

With Corbyn driving the bus and the ghastly Abbott punching the tickets, what could possibly go wrong!

Funding from

🐂💩

At who's cost?

Oooh just won the GE right there 😂🤣

Glad to see Corbyn’s focussing in the important issues of the day.

No they won't. My village bus will remain at one an hour until 7pm and once every two hours at the weekend BusLies

What's he going to use the money to give to begums legal aid, that he also supports 😡🤬

Because the wheels are coming off the labour remain team bus

LOLZ

Rd tax was supposed to be fir the roads potholes shit holes 😡

.... and another jeremycorbyn laugh with labour

Here we go... So where will the millions come from to do that Most have been cut as too few people use them. Again prove maths are not key skill!

How? The reason these routes are not profitable is because of lack of use. It will cost millions in subsidies to reintroduce or billions to renationalise the buses on top of Labours plans to renationalise the railways! Have we struck oil?

What is it with politicians and buses!?

How about cheaper train fares

he does quite suit a job as a extra on coach trip🤔

By taxing the poor who need their car to get work

How about reversing Brexit first? RevokeArticle50 & Remain

Bus w”nker

Of course he does, it ain’t his money

Extinction rebellion won't be happy!

More bull!

do not believe a word

Can we not just throw him under a bus instead

Hardly good for the carbon footprint

More pressing issues

Reverse Brexit first jeremycorbyn for the love of god

Lord Sugar tried to make a point about tax and Jeremy Corbyn and it backfiredConsidering Lord Sugar aka Alan Sugar's net worth is estimated to be approximately $1.15bn, making him the 95th richest person in the UK, and that he sits in the House of Lords, you'd think he'd There is no justification for the state to take 50p of any £1 earned, whether it's someone's first or one millionth. Democratic theft is still theft Left-wing SJWs think that putting up ridiculous tax rates for the highest earners will somehow raise tax revenues significantly. Setting aside the Laffer curve entirely, such thinking is delusional. The brunt of the tax burden always hits the lifeblood of any western economy... I remember seeing this, rich torie lies

Lyra McKee: Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn attend funeral in Belfast - follow liveTheresa May and Jeremy Corbyn have travelled to Belfast to attend the funeral of murdered journalist Lyra McKee, as the pair missed today's Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs). Hopefully the SoSNI will realise what happens in N Ireland when people don’t bother to do their jobs. Here is not like anywhere else, inaction costs lives. Peace here is very fragile. Curious and not objecting but does this mean we will see high level attendance at future IRA victim's funerals? Always nice to use a death to boost PR...
