Even if half of it gets invested, it will still have a more beneficial impact than HS2.
Just a statement, that a percentage of the money that would have been spent on HS2 will be better spent on other projects.That sounds like you don't believe Sunak that it will all be invested.
You've sussed the party you support.
The dimmest person on Bluemoon calling others gullible.Are you really that gullible?
There isn’t a £36bn pot that was set aside for HS2 that will be easily accountable as transferred to other projects. It’s a totally bullshit promise where we would see every penny spent on infrastructure in the north touted as a benefit from the cancellation of HS2 when it’s impossible to say if it would or wouldn’t have happened anyway.
This because private schools aren't getting the results they want and they want an 'easier' baccalaureate.Obviously the scrapping of HS2 will get the headlines but as someone who works in secondary education the merging of A-Levels with the T-Level qualification that was only launched 3 years ago is unbelievable. How many hundreds of thousands of pounds have been spent creating, launching promoting and actually delivering them over the past couple of years? And now all the students who took a risk going for these new T-Levels have been left with a qualification that nobody will recognise in a few years time. Scandalous.
Does it depend on which way the wind is blowing?Big Woop.
I already work the odd train that can get from Man Picc to Sheffield in 45 mins.
And going downhill from Brinnington into Piccadilly.Does it depend on which way the wind is blowing?
It puts me in mind of the ‘there’s no money left’ note left on the chancellor’s desk, as if there was a big box of cash in the cupboard under the stairs and when it was gone it was gone.Are you really that gullible?

Yep. Digging through hills is expensive. It’s never going to get cheaper though.They've been delaying electrification projects for years...
To be fair you demonstrate your gullibility every time you comment on Tory policy, and to be called dim by the only person left on the forum who’s taken in by the lies of this government is actually quite amusing.The dimmest person on Bluemoon calling others gullible.
Not the point mate the south especially London don’t give a fuck about us.

Or it’ll be ringfenced for Michelle Mone and Dido Harding to launder.Having looked at the Government's accompanying document (which looks like a teenager's first attempt at a PowerPoint presentation), half the projects listed have already been announced or are in progress, and a load more are diverting rail infrastructure spending onto road schemes.
I have a strong feeling that the "£36billion" will be the next "£350 million a week on the NHS" lie.
I agree with the sentiment, but this government have quite a record on 'jam tomorrow' train announcements for the North.Even if half of it gets invested, it will still have a more beneficial impact than HS2.
