Today's announcement is the opposite of what it says it is. It's the formal cancellation of the high speed line across the Pennines.
What's left - additional TRU scope - is a good idea but should be delivered as a business as usual enhancement in 2027, not some far off fanfaron.

After nursery school we ate lunch in the garden with my little brother. When we came in there were crumbs on the grass and I suggested we hoover. Mum explained that the birds would eat anything left on the grass. I cried as my little brother was still out there!

This is abhorrent environmental vandalism from Labour.
There is no justification for expanding airports in a climate emergency.
Labour should get on with building new railway lines - including HS2 in full - instead.

Urgent message to Keir - please clarify that you are not abolishing the NHS.
My estimate of the % of the public who know that NHS England is an arms length management body - <1%.
Another comms own goal from the govt, I see.

Elon Musk is an openly hostile foreign agent actively attacking democracy around the world using his massive wealth, his personal communication platform, the help of hostile autocratic foreign governments, and now his direct influence over the new extremist United States Govt he helped put in power.
People briefed on the matter said the billionaire believed 'western civilisation' was under threat, and that he was interested in building support for parties such as Reform UK to force a change. www.ft.com/content/dd4b...
