While the media is rightly lambasting HS2 this week, many commentators are still parroting the rail lobby's propaganda that the West Coast Main Line is "full". This isn't true and even if it were could be resolved at a tiny fraction of the cost of HS2. independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

#HS2 is the biggest financial fraud and scam ever. People are making millions for doing nothing. Expensive equipment standing around unused for months & you can bet we are paying for that on cost plus.

Surprise surprise no mention of corruption or fraud by the BBC reporting on HS2. Once again mainstream media is complicit in the coverup with no intention to expose the biggest corruption case in British history: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

As Rory Sutherland says, instead of building high speed rail they should put great WiFi on the trains and hire the worlds best looking models to serve us champagne and we’d all wish the trains went slower.

The new HS2 CEO outlined the 3 reasons how #HS2 became ruinously expensive and Lewis mentions none of them here. Why? A journalist should deal in facts. Do better Lewis.

So Anglian Water has been fined £62.8 million for illegally dumping their sewage into the environment. In an act of self-pity CEO Mark Thurston, said: “We understand the need to rebuild trust with customers and that aspects of our performance need to improve to do that." Would

Clive Lewis MP Your complete lack of knowledge of how HS2 ended up such as mess is symptomatic of how #HS2 ended up such a mess. Out of control civil servants and MPs who were more interested in lobbyists fantasies than facts guaranteed it'd be a disaster well before contracts were signed.

Excellent article about HS2 & the Labour government’s poor decision making that led up to infamous £100m bat tunnel. And the dangerous spin behind deregulation - Bat Conservation Trust bats.org.uk/news/2025/04/h…

Joe Rukin MCheshireAgainstHS2 Clive Lewis MP Early meetings with all concern including the HS2 engineers indicated this was politically driven & all project management key components were ignored. You don't agree a route, then order the equipment and lastly do the geological survey work, as my father said "arse about face"

The #Starmer government's railway policy is "a strategy-free zone", and there's no need for #HS2 to 'allow more trains to run'. Trains into and out of major UK cities are on average 65% empty. #FactCheck #GetReal #HS2Crock

One CEO’s £940,000 ≈ the lifetime funding gap for a whole school or community health service. That's what budget misalignment looks like. #HS2 #PublicSpending dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
