The Boris aura is waning & the sheer waste & stupidity of #HS2 is being recognised. You can fool some of the people all of the time You can fool all of the people some of the time But you can't fool all of the people all of the time Abraham Lincoln telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/…

More pressure on ⁦Boris Johnson⁩ & Conservatives to #StopHS2 with an Early Day Motion call for a review into #HS2, noting concerns of residents, Chiltern Society & environmentalists about the potential damage to the chalk aquifer & local rivers. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-moti…

Over 155,000 people have now put their names to a petition calling for Hs2 to be scrapped. As I keep saying it’s time to put this very expensive white elephant out of its misery. HS2 must go. Our focus needs to be on good local transport & reliable internet connections for all.

Senior Tories are preparing to urge ministers to put HS2 "out of its misery" as they point to spiralling costs and a shift to working from home as evidence that it should be cancelled: telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/… #HS2

The ghastly monster further sickens and it’s death throes begin . . . HS2 eastern leg to Leeds may be scrapped - new leak claims - leaving a limbless and pointless torso . . . theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/a…

UK ministers set to cut back #HS2 eastern route via Financial Times. ‘Lord Amyas Morse, former head of the National Audit Office, says of #HS2: “It started as an incoherent decision and it has been incoherent in its execution as well.”’ ⁦HS2 Ltd⁩ ft.com/content/0dbd40…

Cost of UK’s #HS2 railway line has ‘no clear end in sight’, MPs warn | Financial Times ft.com/content/b9dea5…

The case for #HS2 fails on environmental, climate & cost grounds It’s time to stop annihilating nature in the name of short-term financial gain for big construction companies & it's time to scrap HS2 before it does any more damage Me for Metro metro.co.uk/2021/09/22/its…

A whistleblower has reportedly revealed that Phase One of HS2 is unlikely to fully open until 2041, an astounding 15 years later than originally planned. This ill-conceived vanity project is turning into an absolute disaster. standard.co.uk/news/uk/hs2-co… #HS2

Delivering essentials like fuel and food is clearly far more important than working on an uneconomic vanity project. Pausing or cancelling HS2 could free up a large number of lorry drivers and other skilled staff. constructionnews.co.uk/hs2/uk-petrol-… #HS2

#stophs2 Boris Johnson you have a very narrow window not to ‘carve up virgin countryside’ in the @ChilternsAONB before it’s ruined for ever. A continued tunnel from great missenden past wendover would alleviate 2 awful concrete viaducts - please sort it out NOW ! #hs2 scrap it!

Just driven past the #HS2 site at Wendover. Over approximately 1/4 mile and just on one side of the road (the site is on both sides) I counted 26 orange suited @hs2ltd operatives operating and doing absolutely NOTHING. No wonder this project is sooooooo expensive Rt Hon Andrew Stephenson CBE
