People who play music out loud on public transport are unlikely to be able to afford £1,000 fines, Kemi Badenoch has said.

The Liberal Democrats have called for tougher antisocial behaviour laws that would see “headphone dodgers” face penalties of up to £1,000, with the Government suggesting it could be open to the proposal.
