Sunak is making it near impossible for Labour to bring back HS2. 

He's done them a favour. 30 odd billion extra  available for spending

They stay in office because they are shameless.

It was a crock of sh*t but I miss the days of when they pretended there was honour in politics.

I mean, for all her (very big) faults, can you imagine Theresa May and her cabinet acting like that?

you could argue that May was a bit unlucky having to deal with brexit, but then again she might have never been PM without it. Same with Johnson but his bad luck was having to deal with covid only a few months after winning that election, and he almost got through it all ok but his bullshitting was the end of him.

I hope the people of Scotland show Rishi and Cruella exactly what they thought of their hate speeches this week.

Labour likely to win, but it will all be about how big the swing from SNP to Labour.

Lol you've not been paying attention.

I've just seen that Bristol is getting £200M from the cancellation of hs2 to spend on a mass transport system m currently in favour is the Idea of an underground system. Not sure if that can be done with old coal mines under the city. Perhaps we can have the old tram system back again. Or the scrapped road schemes that lots of slum clearance was done for decades ago and then scrapped HS2 style.

If you say so.

I don’t remember any SNP speeches like those. They’ve basically turned into the far-right.

The SNP have their own distinctly Scottish version of hate speech for immigrants and ethnics.

Doubtful. In fact don't the US / Canada call the UK TERF island for the exact reason there seems to be more scepticism here? I don't think Starmer would of come out and said a women is an adult human female if his focus groups were not saying the same thing as the Tories.
