It was being announced at the Tory Conference (at least according to Sky and other media outlets).
⌠in Manchester!
Andrew Rawnsley did a piece yesterday on the absolute shitshow that is the governing party. An unnamed minister said of Sunak âHeâs absolutely fucking useless at politics.â
I think thatâs been proven now.

I think this is somewhat true, however, I think what he is trying to do now is show he is making tough decisions so that next year he and the chancellor can announce pre election tax cuts because they have turned the economy/ government finances around.
How will they get back to London?
I say leave them up there. Theyâve fucked London up enough

Fishy Rishi has probably got a private jet on standby.

The privatisation of water in the UK was a disaster. They knew that the amount of work needed would never happen. It needed massif investment that no private company would ever contemplate let alone think of doing. Itâs a wonder that it has taken so long for it to be an actual concern!
I thought he did helicopters these days?
Still a fucking shower with the tactical acumen of a log.
Still HS2 is a de Pfeffel

Not sure about that. I believe most of the cost increases are down to politicians mucking about with it? Just look at the supposed cost savings of building Euston as an 11-platform station instead of 10, just the design stage alone cost more than the supposed savings ever would have.
I think itâs vital as a key part of a joined-up infrastructure strategy, something this country sorely lacks.

Yeah but de Pfeffel signed on it. Big project dude that he isnât.
As an engineer thatâs worked on the railway Iâm a bit torn on it to be honest. I can see the attraction of a new separate line that allows you access to fix the existing one. But I suspect I would oppose huge chunks of the details below that, such as routes and so on.
But when politicians start faffing (de Pfeffeling from now on) then it only goes one way, and quickly too. Money down the sink.
Politicians need to drive stuff like this but they really need to get your eggs in a line before pulling the trigger. CTRL was better, Olympics too. Worth noting the person who oversaw the Olympics. Knows his onions.
@redalways nailed it. The lack of a UK strategy for pretty much every piece of infrastructure, energy, water, transport, education, environment etc. is laughable. That comes from politicians, who have been in power for 13 years. Weâre literally pouring cash down the drain, on top of the sewage as we see saw from one thing to another.

Theyâre quite blatantly lining their and their friendsâ pockets as much as possible before they lose the election.

Yeah. I think the same. Itâs basically asset stripping the economy.

Scratches head and wonders who thaught this well educated woman about communication skills and rethoric
Itâs a bit bizarre, I love to laugh at Miss Lettuce, but you donât become even Prime Minister Lettuce, without having above average intelligence (though i concede there are many forms of intelligence).

My problem with her rethoric, ignoring how goofy she sounds with her word salad, is how utterly void of nuance and explanation it is. Simply drivel.

Of course things will happen if your prepared or not, not that that has anything to do with anything but THINGS!
I find it absolutely astonishing that she can still find an audience within the Conservative Party who still take her seriously.

Sorry I think I got confused by too many sentences after finishing work and before breakfast. 
From âWelsh Bollocksâ
With the news that the northern leg of HS2 has been cancelled, Andrew RT Davies is celebrating Rishi Sunaks launch of HS3 which is expected to cut travel times between Llanberis and âcaffiâr Wyddfaâ by up to 6 minutes.
The current incumbent is regarded as statesmanlike for no other reason than he can speak in whole sentences and brush his hair. When it comes to current British politics the bar is surprisingly low.
