So the Toton HS2 station/line is being ditched in favour or a minor upgrade to a forlorn station.
Is it even levelling?

What’s the situation re Manchester? Wasn’t that due to be announced tomorrow?
Manchester is doing quite well given we’re shackled to London (but nowhere near where it should in a less centralised country).
It’s the likes of Nottingham, Derby that will feel the lack of real investment (& dare I say EU funded projects).

I assume all the plans for "The North" will be revealed tomorrow.

Originally they were going to add another two platforms at Man Picc to ease congestion on the through lines. But as Burnham has been a pain in the arse to them no doubt that'll be dropped, along with any other improvement as punishment.

So nothing on HS2 Manchester leg I guess I was getting at (the underground tunnels, the huge redevelopment of Manchester Piccolo's Station to accommodate HS2 etc)?

We'll see.

The cynic in me thinks HS2 will only run to Birmingham and tomorrow will be the glitter sprayed on the turd to sell a better railway to the North.

Does anyone on here actually think he’s competent? Or is everyone in the ‘he’s an absolute fucking embarrassment’ camp?

His performance at PMQs today was certainly the latter. One of the worst I’ve seen. Starmer no better though.

Grayling had decided to drop the Piccadilly extra platforms before Burnham was elected.

Pushed the Speaker too far in PMQs by trying to demand questions for a third time - Speakers shouts at him and orders him to sit down.

Truly brainless bluster to try the same thing a third time in five minutes after two warnings.

It was revealing watching him answering questions later on in the day in his meeting with a commons select committee. He was rocking back and forth in his chair and clearly uncomfortable. It was clear those asking the questions knew more about what is happening in the world than he did.

He came across as utterly clueless about everything and anything, and it really is a sad state of affairs he is our Prime Minister.

I'm no tory, but I was genuinely shocked by his performance today, and it really is a concern he is in charge of our nation.

I can't think of any Prime Minister so out of their depth in my lifetime as he is. He was like a 6th former being gently criticised by his headmaster, and taking umbrage about it.

But Johnson gets away with a fair bit because of his demeanour as a fat scarecrow in an ill-fitting suit capable of a few witty (and half-witted) phrases. The stupids who vote for him love that shit.
His replacement will be a more serious figure (unless it's Grayling) so they'll get more stick for their obnoxious policies.
The current situation is: "He's a twat" - "Yeah but it's Boris and he's funny."
You can't see the same apology being made for Gove, Raab, Patel or that fucking stick insect Rees-Smug.
