I've a little more faith that whatever gets proposed will progress if people like Tom are involved

If this story is true it will remove the part of HS2 with greatest economic impact, making a mockery of rhetoric of ‘Northern Powerhouse’”, Leeds City Council chief executive Tom Riordan said on Twitter, referencing the commitments of Mr Johnson and George Osborne before him. “Given the time, energy & money wasted, how can people who’ve worked on this in good faith for years ever trust a national process again?”

Really good piece
It is not NIMBYism. At the moment, Leeds is a city of architectural renderings plastered on the side of building sites. Its population grew by 8.1% between 2011 and 2021, the highest rate of any big city bar Bristol. It built 4,441 houses in 2023-24. If every local authority matched it on a per-person basis, Labour would meet its stretching target to build 1.5m homes by 2029. Most do not.

How has this been published on Auntie? I can't imagine what the victims are feeling having read this
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Start of the article "To his close friends and family, Paul Doyle was a "diamond". A dependable, generous and successful father-of-three. To his 134 victims - the babies, children and adults mown down at the Liverpool FC victory parade on 26 May - he represents sheer terror. That is the paradox of Paul Doyle: Why did a man who served in the Royal Marines and then built a successful and stable life plough a 1.9 tonne Ford Galaxy Titanium into a joyous crowd of Liverpool FC fans?"
