Louise Haigh, the transport secretary, is set to double down on her efforts to renationalise Britain's transport sector by bringing forward a bill to take bus services back into public ownership. While some have criticised the Keir Starmer government of being too centrist, Ms Haigh has become the flag bearer for the new government's socialist agenda in undoing Tory reforms of the 1980s and 1990s.
The move on buses follows Ms Haigh getting the first bill of the Labour government through the Commons last week paving the way for the renationalisation of railways in the UK, signalling a significant shift back to public control over transport after decades of deregulation.
