Cancel HS2
What a fantastic time to cancel a white elephant which we could ill afford before our current situation. A project which would only give a small benefit to to a small elite number of people such as MPs and CEOs. Communications are so good why on earth would we want to save 20 minutes?
Just cancel a daft idea which will never benefit the general public. A toy that we cannot afford, a Boris Johnson ego trip.
