devolution of budgets to majors in the newly secured constituencies
extra buses/trams in the newly secured constituenciesmayors? how would this even work? in bury (to take an example completely at random) the council is labour controlled but the borough now has two tory MPs. and its buses and trams are run by a mix of private and public-controlled bodies (not least because thatcher deregulated buses outside london in the 80s, which is one reason why buses outside london are shit, but nobody in london knows that).

Bury already has a mayor and I guess the tram service has improved public transport a fair bit. I've no idea whether the Mayor actually has any input though.
Plus you've got the bag of wank that is Northern Rail that they don't have any influence over.
It would make a good headline though and that's the important thing.
what Dov said, plus;
^ those will all help with the feels are super quick, and cheap. In the meantime they'll just say they've approved 10 new hospitals, etc.
...bear in mind these are things a random person on a bike forum has come up with off the top of their head. So I'm sure a PR team as strong and morally dubious as Johnson's will have no probs.
Genuinely no offence intended, but I think your post highlights the difficulty a lot of people here have in understanding politics as it is today. There is no reason for any objectives to correlate to the manifesto, and there is no reason to actually have 50k new nurses working to be able to say there are.
