Why?
It’s already a frightening amount over budget and behind schedule, having destroyed local countrysides in the process and devalued people’s homes. Then it won’t actually stop in London at a high speed terminus. And it’s really about getting to London faster anyway.
Would much rather have seen that same money put into improving local transport all over the U.K. outwith Greater London.

More and more school are now looking for external companies to deliver RSE for this reason, as they are trained professionals in this area. And these will all be regulated and subject to OFSTED and Safeguarding authorities.I have no doubt there’s enthusiastic teachers taking it too far, or inappropriate guests being occasionally booked. But in the grand scheme of things it’ll be tiny tiny numbers. It’ll just end up generating a load of guidance and training materials for after school CPD and not change the fact most sex education is delivered by bored and/or awkward form tutors.
I actually feel sorry for herBoom!
The idea behind it is to release capacity on the west coast main line to provide for higher frequency local services, the WCML is currently effectively blocked up by having London bound fast intercity trains going up and down it multiple times per hour.Its original idea was to connect the North network more efficiently - northern railway services are a joke given the population density
We all know why really. No way are MP's going to put London on the bottom of the list.The Northern bit was supposedly the bit needed most, so why the hell they started by building the Southern bit, God only knows.
Not exactly levelling up.
Nah, it was to connect Birmingham Airport to Central London and increase London's air passenger capacity. The rest was just hot air to make it seem like they were doing it for the country as a wholeIts original idea was to connect the North network more efficiently - northern railway services are a joke given the population density
He is a very very disingenuous individual, or just has a terrible memory
How strange - no one on this normally active thread is commenting on this? Very odd. Is the internet down?
The Mail and Express are gunning for Lineker on their front pages. Must be a slow news day, what with war, HS2, Raab bullying, failed government, extreme weather etc. Still, my kids have a snow day. Must be all them right wing snowflakes.

Growth in private GP consultations seems a very sound economic model
Tell me more. Probably more important than whether somebody gets to present Match of the Day or not.Let's destroy the free at the point of use healthcare system and make people instead use their disposable income on buying healthcare services, great news all round.
