The campaign will remind people of the law against playing loud music, those who refuse to stop could be removed from the train or fined up to £1,000.

As well as this, local authorities have been issued further guidance to support their new powers to crackdown on loud music, littering, vaping, and threatening behaviour on buses, with the ability to fine disruptive passengers up to £100.

Abuse intended to change who someone is has no place in modern Britain

No compassionate person believes another human being deserves to be treated this way – and this government certainly doesn’t, says Minister for Women and Equalities Bridget Phillipson

People playing loud music on buses could face £100 fine

For too long, confident spoken communication has been kept for the few. Now, it will be the right of every child. Here’s what I’m changing👇🏻 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

My critics think speaking fluently is vital for fee-paying pupils, but not for anyone else. Here’s...

We are accused of dumbing down, but that’s nonsense: this is levelling up. All the evidence shows helping children articulate improves their life chances, says Labour’s deputy leader Lucy Powell

Great to see more and more people getting behind our plans to put speaking back at the heart of the curriculum. Read the full article here 👇🏻 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Editorial: The education secretary is right that her job is not to ‘polish the status quo’. Next, she must decide what to change first

Racism. Misogyny. Far right activity. Swept under the carpet. These latest damning revelations go right to the top of Reform UK. Farage can't say he's not responsible. As Reform themselves put it: they're defending the indefensible. itv.com/news/2026-10-15/refo…

Labour is making Derby the heart of British railways once again by making the city the headquarters of Great British Railways. The development will bring £151 million to boost the wider region whilst opening up 600 apprenticeships spaces for young people.

Labour's offer for older people gives more stability and support in later life: pensions rising and a social care system they can rely on.
