Reform are actively trying to undermine infrastructure investment and set back progress by decades.
I never understand why anyone would be against improving the infrastructure of the country.
Reform are showing that they’re the fascist party of the south. Farage is „concerned“ about the boats crossings, he’s concerned about how to use London to set up shell companies for his tax dodging, and Tice is wanting to kill off investment in the North.
I can’t see how any Northerner would ever bother voting for them.
No!!! I want them to waste billions on a service which is slightly faster than what we already have!!! As a northerner, how am I supposed to get a pret a mange slightly quicker!!!!!
Damn you reform!!!!!!
Another “fuck anyone but the south of england” manoeuvre. You’d think they’d want to try not to alienate potential voters but you know, alienating people is pretty much their entire ethos.
Reform hate the UK. How much evidence do people need?
Reform appeal to the most cynical elements of society.
It’s definitely a consequence of politicians failing for a lifetime to improve lives but this idea that some guy saying “everything is shit” and they’ll cut everything is going to improve anything is dumb.
A party I don’t vote for would do something negative regarding something that my party has put a lot of money into
Cheers Jeff
Do they have a single positive thing on the agenda?
This is great, This is something I think the public would appose. Hopefully it’ll be pushed by the media and negatively affect their ratings.
All we need now is for another party to emerge that is a middle ground between labour and Reform.
Oh no !
I don’t know how we will manage in Northern England.
Telephones , emails , live link video conferences are foreign concepts to us.
Our pigeons can only carry so many information and since the canals are no longer in operation we are basically confined to walking distance when we travel.
Investment in businesses in the North and relocation of Government departments e.g tax offices up north, would be a better use of public funds than a train scheme that would take jobs away from the region and make our housing even more expensive as we’d become a commuter belt for those working in London.
Reform just want to wreck the UK. Their supporters just want to burn it all down so everyone else’s life is as crap as theirs.
Seventeen billion for thirty miles of rail, seems expensive.
Let’s hope people wake up and realise that if Reform gets into power they will be responsible for more than immigration. I doubt it but this is why single issue voting is a terrible idea: you get everything that comes with Reform, which is going to fuck a lot of their voters over. Investing in tiny violins might not be such a bad idea if Reform comes to power.
Who needs high-speed rail when the English invented trains that will run on Great British coal…
Were going to reopen the canals and turnpikes, things were better in the old days.
Good. The whole project is a shocking waste and I care far more about our trees and dormice than I do being able to get to work ten minutes earlier.
