Well to be fair.
No Party can really say so..
Especially when even this useless Prime Minister and his Ministers cannot either, and they ARE the government.

Just a collosal waste of money.

Lockdown has shown us that meetings can reliably be held online, and the only people it would really benefit are "important" businessmen who regularly "need" to pop across the country. It's not like people with ordinary jobs (generally) have that big of a commute.

For the sake of saving like an hour from the total journey, it's just not worth the money and environmental damage.

No wonder you have high payments
to get into that Manchester Conference Centre.

The people don't want transport services improving with their tax money. The people would rather spend their tax money on invading people from other countries into their communities and wars in Eastern Europe.

If they didn't want those things instead, then they would down tools, be out there protesting and voting out the people who are running the books. They're not doing that, so they're happy with what the book runners are doing.

There's probably a new series to watch on Netflix anyway.

BBC claims
This week he will say if the Manchester Extension
is Stopped

[Anti-HS2 crusader Keir Starmer may have to face down
his Shadow Cabinet as an unearthed video
does the rounds of him unreservedly blasting
the project “on cost and merit”,
and categorically stating that
“the only sensible plan is to abandon the
project altogether”. Starmer has a long
history of campaigning against the project
with fellow Camden MP Tulip Siddiq… and crucially
voted against it in 2016.
Any new expression of support for HS2
from Starmer will be entirely confected
and opportunistic.

Long before Sir Keir was elevated to the
leadership, Wes Streeting implicitly took
a pop at his now-dear leader by describing
his anti-HS2 campaign as
“great for posh Londoners but crap for working
class northerners”. Most of the Shadow Cabinet
are on the record as strongly in favour of HS2,
including John Healey, Jonathan Reynolds,
Nick Thomas-Symonds, Jonathan Ashworth,
Bridget Phillipson, Louise Haigh, Lucy Powell,
and Steve Reed.
Admittedly Shabana Mahmood has backed
Andy Burnham’s claim that it
is “essential to regeneration, jobs and growth”.
Starmer is deliberately keeping a low profile
during this row ]

BBC News Text :
[Three bosses on the HS2 rail project have been
given salaries worth a combined total of £1.3m,
while more than 40 others picked
up at least £150,000 each,
according to the Daily Express.
It comes amid questions about the future of
parts of the project because of spiralling costs.
The paper calls the salaries "shameful".]

PM Sunak
was asked, about HS2 to Manchester
on Local Radio BBC Manchester

Sunak stated we have spades in the ground.

BBC Lady : IS IT under review?


Sunak : We are looking at roads and potholes?

BBC Lady now getting angry, says we are not talking potholes...............

[bitontheslide]

if it proves true, labour can simply resurrect it next year if they want, but we all know that they wont and are just playing politics
