In more shock news, the Northern Powerhouse rail upgrade has been scrapped. Shapps talking absolute bollox as usual

Mr Shapps said: “Across the Pennines, connecting places like Manchester to Leeds and bringing that journey down to half an hour – which is what we said we would do in that manifesto – is in fact happening already,” he said.

“The line itself can deliver a 33-minute journey from Manchester to Leeds, nearly quadruple the capacity of that line and do so without having to wait an extra 20 years beyond the delivery of what the upgrade can do.

33 minutes???

Nigel Harris, editor in chief of Rail magazine, called Mr Shapps a “world class communicator of utter claptrap”.

Sounds like an artfully creative piece of word play: "the line can deliver a 33 minute journey".

Just the trains can't and it probably means not stopping anywhere and travelling at maximum speed.

Not sure what "nearly quadruple the capacity" means, but I bet it doesn't work with the 330minute journey.

Chris Philip another Tory nonce spawned in the depths of Mordor

Knobhead attended the selective St Olave's Grammar School in Orpington, Kent,[4] and then studied physics at University College, Oxford.[5] In 1996 he was editor of the Oxford University student newspaper, Cherwell.[6]. From Wiki

He was of course also a member of a one of those shady Tory think tanks where the membership sit round, count their money and dream up wheezes to get richer and fuck the populace.

He has zero credentials to become policing minister other than he is a twat.

Quadruple capacity means Indian style transport with plebs on the roof. Fucking noncy nonce nonsense.

The real question should be ‘what the hell is the point of having a Tory government if their policies are such dismal failures and they have to adopt labour ones to try and get themselves out of the shit’?

There is no point of a conservative government.

Virtually every time they have been in government since universal suffrage the country has either got worse or progress was in spite of them.

People need to wake up and realise that a narrow section of privately educated toffs aren't adequately equipped to run a country (where most people's lives are beyond their comprehension) for the benefit of anyone other than that narrow elite.

Given all the available evidence of this, it’s still amazing how many don’t see it.
