Dear London – did you just rewrite the rules of congestion charging? By accident? And find a massive clean air hack? Which you’re now about to switch off?🧵

Really thoughtful run through of new Ipsos in the UK research, which suggests the public are much less nimby than they think they are. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I think it’s a good one this week!

Even if our Top Banter(tm) is a bit much, the last section here with Ben Johnson from Centre for British Progress on getting innovations from the lab to the battlefield faster is really important.

Some lunchtime listening! A bank holiday is a perfect time to check out the pod if you’ve not listened before!

Why I still believe in HS2 (FREE TO READ!) takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/p/why-i-still-…

Posted this at 5pm on a Friday as that’s the best time post new content, right?

How are the Green Party the ‘best’ party on environmental issues when they routinely block renewable energy and high-speed rail?

Ultimately, HS2 does need to be completed, including to Manchester, with a proper Birmingham Interchange. The note I would re: Interchange is that it should have been part of a rebuilt (Reading-Style) International station, equipped for redundancy, inc. connections to Marylebone.

In the inevitable HS2 inquiry, we have to reckon with the fact that the lobby that added vast additional cost to the construction were ultimately just opposed to the project. And the political mainstream that just wants infrastructure delivered at a sensible cost were ignored.

Good luck to us all
