St Davids, 6th century cathedral in the UK's smallest city of St Davids, Pembrokeshire, could face insolvency within two years. https://t.co/oO8hCVT7EF
@HS2theTruth@MichaelDnes1 Bernadette Kelly's first job at DfT in 2017 was to remove the 3 review points as HS2 had twice failed review points 1 on Costs & Controls
As Lord Berkeley pointed out,if review points still in place HS2 would have never happened.

While HS2 has been a disaster for taxpayers, the biggest victims are residents along the route. Many have had their homes stolen by the government and many more have faced years of severe disruption, often without compensation. #HS2 https://t.co/TOqo7O1tay
*Note: it was Labour Transport Secretary Lord Adonis who mandated the speed of #HS2 should be the fastest in the world.

Transport Sec finally admits #HS2 is a vanity project! She says "it was a massively over-spec'd folly with the prospect of the fastest train anywhere in the world tickling the fancy of Conservative* ministers"

"We have a Budget of 28 billion to build HS2 we are not interested in spending the 14 billion contingency" Andrew McNaughton HS2 Technical director 2014
That was Full #HS2 to Leeds and Manchester with all tbe mitigation tunnels
@peterwoodman67 £12.3bn they said in 2009 - including 'Quantified' Risk! They still don't know the true risks or a delivery date just to go the shorter distance from Old Oak Common to a dead end 103 miles away in Birmingham.
Ministers are clueless. The absence of an HS2 completion date will only encourage more delays at taxpayers' expense. The bureaucrats and contractors with their snouts in the trough want it filled up for as long as possible.
#HS2 is a scandal. To date nobody has been held responsible either politicians or execs for any of the failures that have become this £100billion pound money mountain. There ought to be an inquiry.

The last Labour government chose the speed and route for #HS2, as well as deciding to start from London to Birmingham, the Conservatives just went with their decision. #StopHS2 https://t.co/1gqYkbI68o
