Just seen the highlight of the Tory conference; Gove standing up and saying, without any conviction whatsoever, that "we have £350 million more every week going into the NHS; promise made, promise delivered". Even the audience seemed embarrassed when the cameras panned across the room. The most easily and frequently debunked Brexit lie, as admitted by Johnson Farage and Cummins, gets dusted off and given a public airing. How desperate are they that they think that particular piece of wool can be pulled back in front of the electorate's eyes. -

Joe Biden says "Jill and I... grieve for those who've lost their loved ones,", do you think that applies to both sides ?

In the England Samoa rugby match, Samoa scored a try and kicked the conversion, only for the TMO to then rule it out for a knock-on.

Same way it's Bazunu's.

No they are not. Only Israel has an air force. The sad situation is that both sides commit atrocities, whilst there is probably never going to be a lasting peace - a volatile mix of religion, politics, and foreign interests will keep the fires stoked for years if not decades to come. Yet another "Western" policy failure in the Middle East. ( For the hard of thinking, a reference to the process of the foundation of the state of Israel ).

The reason HS2 stops at Old Oak is that to go further it needs a tunnel, and most of the London constituencies are already underrun with tunnels, be it the Underground or Crossrail, so on that basis it should make no difference. The main issue with HS2 has always been that there was never a need for a high speed link, what was needed was greater capacity on the West Coast Mainline, coupled with vastly improved east-west trans Pennine lines. As a national vanity project it was trying to deliver the wrong thing. -

If you cut out the rest of this post and just leave the highlighted bits, it then makes perfect sense. -

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67021225 "The HS2 rail line will not be extended to London Euston unless enough private investment is secured for the project. If cash is not put forward by private funds, the high-speed line will only run from Birmingham to Old Oak Common in the capital's western suburbs." -

Now it seems that HS2 will stop at Old Oak, near North Acton, and 6 miles from it's originally planned terminus at Euston. This probably means that any time saved on a journey from Birmingham will be lost in transferring to the Underground to complete it. -

Not really. I can agree with Rishi Sunak on which footy team to support whilst loathing everything about his politics.

And what about the replacement for phase 2 of HS2, "Network North" ? It includes a line between Plymouth and Tavistock, admittedly north of the Scilly Isles....... https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/651d64646a6955000d78b2e0/network-north-transforming-british-transport.pdf
