On Saturday, the PM proudly declared that Labour's £3 bus fare cap had already "cut costs for families".

Trouble is, the cap was £2 under the Conservatives. Labour raised it to £3 on 1 January this year. If that's a cut, my name's Pythagorus. As even Diane Abbott could tell you, it's a 50% increase.

Starmer didn't blurt this out under pressure. It was in a tweet. That half the Labour Party's communications team must have seen and approved.

Only in Labour's parallel universe can a 50% price rise be spun as a cut.

Either Starmer can't do simple maths or he's a serial liar. Something doesn't add up here, but then nothing does with this Labour government.
