HS2. The White Elephant finally dies.

[Supersub6]

Why stop at Manchester or Leeds? Drive it north all the way to Edinburgh. The White Elephant & Castle Line has quite a ring to it.

Never mind HS2 continuing north, we can't even get the A1 improved into a Dual Carriageway once you get north of Morpeth.

I was really surprised at that Supersub6 on our little sortie up to your neck of the woods earlier this year.

The lack of investment we receive in the North of England really is appalling.

You have to love Mick Lynch, he calls a strike to cancel trains from London To Manchester on Sunday when the Tory Party Conference starts and reignites on Wednesday when the Tories want to head off home.

The Tories retaliate by binning HS2.

So the general public suffers because Lynch wants to play political games with the London-Manchester rail service. Almost makes you want to vote for the Not The Conservative Party.

I read about a bloke who was pleading for Barclay to sort out the Senior Doctors strike because he does not want to die.

Now that Sunak has officially shoved two fingers up at the North he has no f*cking chance whatsoever of furthering the time in office of the Not The Conservative Party.

Mick Lynch I salute you sir.

Latest poll puts the Tories on 29%. If I was a Lefty that figure would scare me to death. They are a complete and utter shambles but still 29% would vote for them. If they could somehow get their act together in the next 12 months, and Sunak does seem to be talking sense at last on HS2 and Net Zero, that % could rise and they could be back in the game. Useless as the Tories are there is no great enthusiasm for Labour, and with Agent Lynch doing a good job for them, the Tories are not out of it yet.

Ahh Ten Commandments BT - TBF they could just about apply to every politician known to all of us , there isn’t one of them that isn’t a snake of some type.
Me me me me me me me me ( first rule of modern politics).

Starmer is not a socialist army88, he's an Israeli supporter, he's a blue-nosed Tory and cost the Labour Party tens of thousands of true supporters and millions in lost funds.

The left of the Labour Party will not vote for him in a million years and I think sinkov is right. Millions of people will vote tactically and most people I talk to have no idea who to vote for.

This is where and why we went wrong...

We had ONE chance and we blew it.

I still have a passing interest in politics BT, and I have followed Sir Kneel's career with interest, however No's 2 and 7 in particular are news to me. Could you provide some evidence/links in support of those contentions, because at the moment it looks like a fairly amateurish hatchet job on Starmer to me.

Thanking you in anticipation.

You're the one who brought Agent Lynch into the discussion mon ami, it wasn't me.
