Saw this on here and thought it might be AI so I went and had a look.

Oh it's real. Terrifying and real.

@Liverpool1207 I was even more appalled when they put the portaloos for the Christmas markets next to it. Hope they get the sense to move them in the future.

Loads of #hs2 nonsense over the weekend. Let’s try and put some of it right.

1) opting for much slower - 125mph would have made little if any difference to alignment. Yes, curves could have been tighter, but that would simply have taken the route closer to places…

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.

Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

Fantastic that a new Birmingham - Manchester rail link has been announced, vindicating the work Andy Burnham & I led with the private sector.

But it’s just wrong to make the Midlands wait ‘decades’. The upgrade is needed now, and I hope our region can win that argument.

[Jack Tollitt @TOLLITT_]

@itvpeston @Peston @rachelreeves You’re rightly committing to a new railway line between Birmingham and Manchester but why not deliver effectively Hs2 phase 2 now. When we know the benefits are so large and widespread. It would create so much hope of a better future, which people in the north are desperate for?

Sheffield is the largest city in Europe without a single electrified railway.

The Midland Mainline electrification would have changed that, but the Govt has now 'paused it'.

Meanwhile, £600m has been spent on a fare freeze that will mainly benefit commuters in the South East.

Welcome to INDYCAR!

Mick Schumacher is joining Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing to pilot the No. 47 for the 2026 season.

Govt can cut benefits or raise taxes at a moment’s notice. Give nearly 20 years notice of an increase in pension age and apparently compensation may be due at a potential cost of billions; to be paid by younger generations. Ludicrous. https://t.co/hTVHKrjiKH

For some perspective, 1,680 football pitches is 0.018% of UK protected land. To say that temporary HS2 construction sites are visible from space is desecration is insane. On google maps a dinner plate on a table in my back garden is visible from space.

Reform is led by Londoners who haven’t had a lifetime of using railways in the North.

So I suppose it’s no surprise that they think it’s fine for us to be stuck with a second-class railway while the south gets modern, high-speed lines.👇🏻

We have higher ambitions for the North.

One of the many unsung benefits of new high speed rail in the UK:

You won’t have to close it or delay trains every time we get a #heatwave.☀️

Will set us up for the next century, which stands to be significantly hotter. Build more of it!
