Polls are irrelevant 4 years before an election. In fact they are pretty irrelevant 4 days before. Remember the conservatives getting as few as 70 seats in some polls? Didn’t happen. Most polls are from right newspapers anyways

Not an unusual view at the time though, why focus on Churchill? Do we need to cancel everyone, or just the ones that can no longer speak for themselves?

Thank you for doing this Kim

And what a magnificent structure it is too, credit to the designers and whoever went with the design, despite something more utilitarian and nasty probably working out Β£50 cheaper

Actually I think the timing was spot on to take the narrative from Reform. If you need to break bad news, best to get make use of it. The right wing papers will hate having to put Farage on page 2

Maybe England could (finally) get a bank holiday to celebrate...... Aah, no, silly old me

I recall the time and money spent on the the last spine route version when I worked nearby in the mid 90s. Lots of granite sets and honey coloured resin which soon became a mess. But this is a great improvement to the area, long overdue. Hopefully these materials will stand the test of time better

Hmm, you seem to have been promoted to "Rail Expert and Campaigner" Congratulations! Good contribution though, everything else was just a rehash of what had been, err, leaked before. My guess is they'll go for NPR Phase 1 to Manchester & tease Phase 2 to Sheffield, but I'm a Rail Realist not Expert!

It’s also nice to document those that have built the infrastructure as well. They often seem to be forgotten amongst the politics

Yeah, this house I bought for 200k back in the day is now a £1.2M cannabis house because people like me are too thick to see the bigger picture 🀷🏽

It’s just so perplexing why some people are so very angry about something they are not

Indeed, it's a sad fact that Vlad won't listen to any other message. Anyone who thinks it's OK to sacrifice a million of his own people on a gigantic dick swinging invasion of a sovereign country is unlikely to be dissuaded by 'please don't use nukes on us, we don't have any'

The key thing is keeping the dial at 50Hz, until renewables can be switched on and off quickly, you will need something that can do it reliably. Currently it’s gas, in the interim it’s nuclear, in the future it will be storage, but we wont be at that level for decades
