Rishi Sunak

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.
 
Some Tory MP now saying "We built the Ordsall Chord" - now that is a white elephant, because the lack of capacity through Oxford Road and Piccadilly (they cancelled the extra platforms at Piccadilly) means the Chord only has one train an hour from the NE to the Airport. HS2 / NPR would have had the airport to Leeds in 40 minutes.
 
Even if half of it gets invested, it will still have a more beneficial impact than HS2.
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.
 
Wow !!
Can anyone really take this guy seriously?
What a load of shit he has spouted!!
HS2 not bothered ,TBH 15 minutes of a shorter time to London does not matter in the scheme of things! Much preferred cross country improvements but very very dubious this will happen.
Levelling up ! What a fkin joke.
