Poor statement without context.

Those advisors had just come off a resounding landslide victory.

Starmer doubling down. Calling the Greens extreme.

Starmer doubling down. Calling the Greens extreme.

The success of the Greens is an existential threat to Labor in the way that Reform is not, the Greens can literally destroy Labor as a party in the same way Reform is currently doing to the Torries.

My guess would be that most of them would rather have a Farage Prime Ministership than a Polanski one.

I wonder if Farage has any incentive$ to say this.

pushing even more to the right.

You can tell he's a racist piece of shyt just by looking at him. All his tough guy rhetoric on X is reminiscient of the National Front days, but at least they just straight up said what the deal was instead of using dog whistles.

HS2 trains could run slower than planned to save money

The government is looking at ways to make much-delayed London to Birmingham railway line cheaper to deliver.

This headline honestly had me , oml

What a shambles.

HS2 has been designed to allow trains to run at up to 360km/h (224mph). Department for Transport sources point out that this is faster than any other conventional railway in the world.

Most high speed trains in this country run at up to 200km/h (125mph), while those on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (HS1) operate at up to 300km/h.

This means HS2 trains could not be tested at their intended operating speeds until a bespoke test track, or the railway itself is complete, something DfT sources claim would delay completion of the project by several years and cost billions of pounds.

The alternative, they say, would be to send trains to China to be tested on existing tracks there.
