As we reported yesterday in his first interview since becoming Shadow Transport Secretary, Michael Dugher, said that he wanted to start championing motorists, and end Labour’s ‘war on drivers’.

He took to Twitter to criticise Dugher’s comments, saying Labour have never demonised motorists and that Mary Creagh, Dugher’s predecessor in the Shadow Cabinet role, was brilliant in her role.
