The building of new infrastructure such as roads, train lines and communities will be safeguarded by over £600bn in capital investment over the next 5 years.
Projects like these help to grow our economy and level up regions across the UK. #AutumnStatement

🗣️The column I hoped I would never write:
"Any notion of levelling up is destroyed."
"We cannot improve the lot of some of the country’s poorest communities by cutting them off."
"Yorkshire simply cannot trust this Government, now or ever again." #HS2

Setting up for success will be crucial to government’s ambitious plans for the UK’s #majorprojects.
That is why the IPA has developed the Project/Programme Outcome Profile to support government #projects and #programmes.

Make no mistake, I think that UK government will tomorrow announce moves to take much closer control of UK railways, albeit disguised through its new arms-length body. I can't see that body making major decisions without agreeing them with government.

It needs saying again and again. Brits will be the only people in a major western European country unable to travel, live, work and retire freely in their own continent. UK kids will miss out on opportunities that their counterparts across Europe will take for granted. A tragedy.
