When it first started I think the cost was est. £30bn. On a different site I said it'd be more like £80bn, be at least a decade late and eventually only the London-Birmingham leg would be done because the project was all about improving link to London and they wanted to use BHX as a further extension of it's airport capacity.

So far I'm not looking too far off, though I think I've massively underestimated the final cost, even if Phase 2 and 3 are cancelled.

Isn’t JRM lucky that Owen Paterson’s wife committed suicide. He might have to look in the mirror otherwise. The way in which he and other MP’s have danced on that poor woman’s grave to exonerate their own behaviour and poor judgment is nothing short of disgusting. Shame on them.

Let’s be honest no one is influencing China. They were fat shaming Greta Thunburg the other day - no one is influencing Brazil or the rest of South America and no one is influencing India

They don’t want to destroy the planet or reduce their average life expectancy of their sons and daughters any more than we do. Everyone has a point of interest on this. I’m not necessarily saying Boris and alok are to blame just that jumping up and down changing we can do this to flashy music isn’t really what changes hearts and minds and wallets and gdp

your first sentence is absurd. China is a corrupt brutal regime that persecutes its civilians - especially “their daughters” on a daily basis. Brazil don’t believe climate change exists. Honestly that is an absurd position to take

I'm sure there'll be hundreds of memes about her stupidity popping up all the time over the coming years. Oh wait.

The 1922 committee are revolting.

www.google.co.uk

Panicking Tories complain about Boris Johnson's attempt to cut down second jobs

The PM proposed a ban paid political consultancy in a desperate bid to stem public anger over Tory sleaze
www.google.co.uk

Just think. If he’d just have let it lie and Owen Patterson take his very lenient punishment like a man the shit wouldn’t be hitting the fan from all angles right now. Such an error of judgment. His biggest gaffe to date by far and that’s saying something.

He should have walked after 'let the bodies pile high', the line was crossed ages ago.

How far down the rabbit hole are we when Spectator columnists are feeling sympathy for sex traffickers.

I see the Daily Mail editor has just been cancelled because they want a more pro government editor if you can believe. Mind you he did run a couple of “negative” headlines last week over the Owen Patterson scandal. Sensitive lot these fascists. Snowflakes the lot of them.

Another Tory out Diane Abbotting Diane Abbot. Still, at least this one isn’t in government. No, actually she is.

It's not like this was particularly difficult maths. How did we end up with a Government so stupid?

Think Johnson’s on his way out TBH.

Who do we want in next?

Probably a straight fight between Liz “disgraceful cheese” Truss and Rishi “Rishi Sunak for the Rishi Sunak Party” Sunak.
