I don't think they were prepared for the bollocks they get from the Left, but that was always the risk with kicking out Corbyn,

I can't remember hearing the Left when they were in charge talking about a wealth tax, Funnily enough, now that they aren't, it's become an article of faith, and no other taxes on the rich count. I also don't recall the election campaigns majoring on safe routes from world conflicts. There were about a quarter of the number of asylum seekers in 2017 as now.

Good example of this here.

I'm pleased to see him get some stick. As someone on the Guardian BTL said, the new word to disparage any good policy is "tinkering". Which means "I want it all now and don't want to pay any extra tax".

Yep. Investment Minister met investors. But job well done- this lot are corrupt, you might as well let Farage win.

This is interesting.

UK ministers take control of £10bn Lower Thames Crossing
Exclusive: National Highways Agency stripped of oversight with project handed to DfT amid Labour government drive for growth

This seems like a pretty reasonable strategic route for road freight to Dover, but I can see the argument that other things might be a bigger priority. Hard to take this intervention seriously though.

Chris Todd, the director of Transport Action Network, said: “The government is continuing to throw good money after bad at the Lower Thames Crossing.

“Taking it outside of National Highways’ roads programme and treating it as a stand-alone project, with a DfT-signed blank cheque, risks going the same way as HS2 with ballooning budgets and no accountability.”

Was this written by AI? HS2 was overseen by HS2 Ltd, not by the Department. Accountability would seem to mean that they can challenge it every 5 minutes. And what does "blank cheque" mean? Would all their favourite projects come in on budget?

They have this campaign going. The horror here is... new houses, which might require new roads. We might as well all give up now.

I doubt the LTC will have to be built in tunnels to shut the Chiltern types up though.

Comfortably, in the Top-5 of the best records ever made. The Kreuzette rattles it out on the joanna - on the way to the outside lavatory.
