It will destroy 100 ancient woodlands. A waste of money with hyper expanding cost projections but of course Johnson is going for it 🤦‍♀️
The HS2 rail project will “undermine the economics of the existing west coast and east coast mainlines” says Tory MP John Redwood He reckons it will be “loss making” and passenger number forceasts have been "exaggerated" #politicslive bbc.in/2RFnA7p
