The Tory Trainset for the rich must go Environmental & Economic costs are simply unacceptable #GreenNewDeal needs sustainable transport for all not #HS2
@BellaMyBeauty Lord Adonis likes to take credit for #HS2 but it was #MichaelHeseltine & @bowgroup Tory think tank who created it Blair ran with it & #Cameron sprinted across the line with the baton We need @LabourParty to bin the Tory spin & oppose for the good of the people & the planet
All being evicted imminently by #HS2 with no compensation agreed Granny Ryall sadly died of heart failure a week after they seized the family business & one of their employees they had to make redundant committed suicide #VictimsofHS2
Fibbing & distorting? HS1 passenger numbers are in decline I'm told & its owners want to sell. The only reason for East Kent's regeneration was HS1? All proponents of Major Infrastructure projects beat the Regeneration/Jobs Drum with no hard evidence to back them up.
Quite right@GrantShapps This is an obscene project run by #HS2Ltd a dubious govt company, aided and abetted by lobbyists and vested interests. Your new govt will never be forgiven if you give #HS2 the go ahead. #Environmentaldestruction#BorisBlowsBillions ????
Shovel-ready alternatives to #HS2? How about axed rail electrifications to Bath/Bristol, Swansea, Windermere, Nottingham and Sheffield? Or axed light-rail schemes in Leeds, Portsmouth etc.? Just for starters, while many others are made ready.
“One MP for an inner-city Northern seat confessed to me that, for every constituent who says HS2 must be done, two more complain that it is a waste of limited funds.” Sherelle Jacobs on grumblings from beyond the wall https://t.co/QqnpJHpNkv
When #HS2 try and downplay how much environmental damage they are doing or supporters show you maps and say "It's not that much", here's a great example of the difference between promised greenwash and #ecocide reality. #StopHS2#RethinkHS2#StandForTheTrees#ThisIsNotATrain
Letter from over 66,000 thousand @WildlifeTrusts supporters asking @BorisJohnson to stop and #rethink#HS2 as the cost to wildlife is too high. Fingers crossed he listens! 🤞
How can any report support a project that has a 0.6 rate of return ?
If we spend £ 100bn we lose £40bn. On what planet does that make sense @sajidjavid@grantshapps@PaulMaynardUK ?
Hmm something fishy about this
1/ Javid was Osborne's protégé
2/ Osborne heavily lobbying this week
3/ Javid's SPAD was sacked for leaking Brexit info
4/ Oakervee report was leaked🤔
5/ He was never an #HS2 sceptic Looks like attempt to force Boris hand
