Welfare Bill to be published tomorrow.

And a review of the previous government’s performance on HS2. Ought to be a nice political freebie.

[Tubby Isaacs]

The previous government's performance on HS2 sounds spectacularly dreadful. I was strongly against Starmer not immediately reinstating the Crewe section, but it sounds like they're miles off from being able to proceed with that. If he had reinstated it, he'd have now been having to put it back and would have copped more "Starmer U-turn" bollocks. And in retrospect I was doing what annoys me when others do it- "this thing I'm interested in needs all this extra money now", as opposed to all the other things that need money now.

Really excellent take from Polly Toynbee.
