Today in Parliament the Government backed plans to close hundreds of rail ticket offices in England.
Yet the Minister would not answer basic questions on accessibility of services or job security.
I have now written to independent watchdog @TransportFocus to get urgent answers. https://t.co/DrTskLWuwQ

Hi Lucy - Nice to hear from you.
You are obviously entitled to think what you want of Sadiq, though I disagree with you, but I am not sure in response to a story about the racist abuse he has received is the time to do so. Happy to chat about it with you over a coffee 😀 https://n.respublicae.eu/lucyallan/status/1676694026450239489

Labour believes in breaking down the barriers to opportunity, for each of us and for all of us.
We will build a Britain where background will be no barrier.

‘Sadiq Khan has received more than 300,000 pieces of openly racist or racially-oriented abuse on social media since elected London mayor.’
Islamophobia is on the rise and it’s not just those in public life that face it.
It’s a daily reality online &amp; IRL.https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jul/05/rise-in-racist-abuse-against-sadiq-khan-linked-to-london-clean-air-zone-expansion?CMP=share_btn_tw

Re The Tory Govt is unwilling to tackle Islamophobia - even refusing to define it.
And Suella Braverman seemingly happy to continue where Boris Johnson left off - being deliberately divisive in their rhetoric, with no shame or care for the consequences.

I'm disgusted by the torrent of Islamophobic abuse @SadiqKhan is subject to.
The continued vilification of Muslims in public life damages democracy. I hope to see colleagues from across the political divide condemn this in the strongest terms.

The proposals for ticket office closures will have a serious impact on passengers at Levenshulme station.
Let me confirm for my constituents: I will be campaigning against this closure.
More managed decline from Tories. https://n.respublicae.eu/TanDhesi/status/1676537584766406656

We should be encouraging passengers onto our #railways, not cutting them off.
Government must stop its managed decline of our public transport.

Only one out of every 3,144 fraud offences committed last year in England &amp; Wales resulted in a prison sentence. That means the chances of being a victim of fraud were almost 200 times greater than the chances the perpetrator would go to jail. @Matt_Dathan’s Times story below. 👇🏼 https://t.co/ntVURMqonM
