A graph. Title reads “every graph about the UK”. There are two lines: Green line tag is “good thing”. Red line is labelled “bad thing” green line starts high, then crashes right after it passes through the vertical dotted line labelled “Brexit”. Red line starts low then rockets up after passing through the same dotted line.

The Bay Area is 7.7 million people within a 70km circle. Or 6 million people within a 50km circle. Similar circles for England around and about Manchester have 12 million and 7 million people respectively.

Parliament spent over 1300 hours on legislation & scrutiny for HS2. Yet Parliament played no role in the decision to scrap it, which was announced unilaterally by the PM at party conference. So what does this mean for Parliament? New @HansardSociety blog hansardsociety.org.uk/blog/h…

HS2 fiasco: What does it mean for Parliament?

The Prime Minister’s decision to cancel the next stage of HS2 has given rise to criticism that once again the Government has ridden roughshod over Parliament. Just over 1,300 hours of legislative...

🇬🇧 Britain’s bullet train 🇬🇧 In Japan, I saw the benefits high speed rail can bring - to connect communities & grow the economy That’s why, despite the global inflationary pressures, we remain fully committed to building @HS2ltd 🇬🇧 🚄 Building it shows we believe in Britain👇

Last great Bradford station plan lasted a month. I suspect we'll get a bit longer this time. But the outcome will most probably be the same. It doesn't go to London. It won't be funded.

Remember when Rishi Sunak publicised a huge package of rail projects to help the North of England? Was that today? No, it was November 2021. Of course none of it actually materialised. It's worth reading the whole thing to see what a let down it's been. gov.uk/government/news/integ…

This is the biggest ever public investment in Britain’s rail network with £96 billion to deliver faster and better journeys to more people across the North and the Midlands. #LevellingUp

Plus, given the timing and the knowledge that power is ebbing away why not make a stand for what is right and posterity? They can’t even make a good judgement call with a self centred, cynical mindset!

I know it’s naive, but HS2 and the clear inability of Ministers to stand true to their clearly stated opinions of what is best for the country is depressing. History will compare @Jeremy_Hunt @GregHands @grantshapps & others to the likes of Lords Carrington Howe Heseltine poorly
