HS2 may have “fewer seats than existing services”.
What a crock of shit. “Dissuade passengers from travelling by train at certain times” ie “make it incredibly expensive”

To be fair, it's not really HS2 anymore. It's running HS2 trains on existing lines over a limited stretch. Which isn't what the trains were planned for.
They have managed to spectacularly end up with the worst of all worlds though.

My genius idea: Since they now own all this land running (i assume) mainly along the train line, why don't the Labour government use it to build 100,000 new homes.

Not started, I'm fairly sure they already sold most of it. So it'd involve buying it back all over again. It's almost as if this was always true: |

Nuts to me that she looked at Johnson, Priti, Farage, Anderson and Badenoch and thought "weak as hell, challenge accepted, literally everyone will love me"
Hilarious that Sunak couldn't sack her too. What a fucking bait worm.

Nevermind not being able to sack her - Sunak was so weak that even though she was pre-sacked for him about a week before he took over she still ended up with a top job.

She did a typically mental speech there recently and as a result had to attend the "PopCon" event in the UK by a pre-recorded video. Apparently there was a countdown to a round of applause before a staffer pressed play |

Proper belly laugh at this one. "I'd vote Republican in November because they would hate me and want me dead the moment they lay eyes on me simply for the way I look, and I can really identify with that, because I feel the same about the poor". |

Back to the usual braying as soon as he mentions what a fucking mess the last 14 years have left them with in response to Davey.
But yeah, surprisingly decent. Quite surprised at Sunak showing a bit of humility and then just asking genuine questions instead of the usual catchphrase salad.

I love seeing it. The fall from Prime Minister of the UK to talking head Republican cheerleader is incredibly satisfying to watch.
