Miriam Cates: Why this red wall MP says they were wrong over HS2 and wants money switched to local services yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion/c… Ian Day Sir Philip Davies Esther McVey #HS2 #Yorkshire #Budget2021 #Tories #Sheffield #Penistone #Stocksbridge #redwall

Here we go - beginning of the end for Eastern leg of #hs2. If only it was curtains for the whole ridiculous project. HS2: Why this red wall MP now opposes high-speed rail – Miriam Cates yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion/c…

Another NORTHERN #MP admits that #HS2 is not what The #North needs. Well done Miriam Cates. It's about time the people making decisions for the North actually listened to the people who live here! yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion/c…

I think this is what Rishi Sunak has just announced: For #sustainable #transport English city regions are to get only 5.38% of the budget that's being spent on #HS2 #unsustainable transport So much for #COP26

What did Boris Johnson call forests today at #cop26? "cathedrals of nature"? What is he sanctioning in his own back yard? The #HS2 scars torn across England mol.im/a/10154921 via Mail Online

lives, human, animal and plant, that building it will cost. The rest applauded when a lady said she didn't want HS2 but wanted local and regional transport. The North Does Not Want HS2, so pull the plug on it now Boris Johnson and start to give the people what they truly need

In 2050, poor Toby will have a long, long wait on the platforms at the #HS2 Leeds terminus.

Many people warned Northern politicians lobbying for #HS2 was a mistake/would dominate resources and take money from better projects. Turned out to be true. Worse still is the 120yr +carbon foorprint of the scheme. Rail users who transfer to HS2 will increase their C02 footprint

OutofTweet123 Kay Burley Dominic Raab I cannot understand why a high speed train to London can be called levelling up. Levelling up is a societal thing, across the UK. #HS2 would never help communities in Barrow or Whitehaven or Bridlington or swathes of Bradford etc.

RAIL Magazine @Rail I understand your anger but HMG knew the cost & programme delivery issues in 2015 and 2019 but did NOT share them with Parliament, Oakervee or the public. The decisions yesterday were inevitable. Had you allowed me the right to reply, you wouldn't face embarrassment

Yorkshire Against HS2 Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps BBC Breakfast Naga Munchetty Alexander Stafford If I had a pound for every time I'd screamed at the telly this week I'd be rich. The mis-information AND dis-information being put out by people who don't even understand the failings of the now abandoned #hs2 eastern leg are unbelievable. No benefits = no good. It's simple.

RAIL Magazine The only thing I don't understand is that in every opinion poll on #hs2 it is deeply unpopular and more so the further north you go. The clamour seems to come from incredibly voiciferous vested interests whilst Alexander Stafford appears to represent his constituents

Andrew Marr I feel Labour ought to be reminded of their promises too 👇 Labour puts £50bn cap on #HS2 scheme (2013) thetimes.co.uk/article/labour…

#bbcpnw "Northern Leaders" duped into supporting #HS2 that took resources away from local transport. They should have been lobbying for regional solutions, trains, trams & buses that would benefit ordinary people instead of a London-centric white elephant sucking activity South.

Common sense at last.

Retweet if you agree the Government should scrap HS2
