This is one I am keen to see come to fruition. These thieving scumbags need brought to justice. I love the angle of looking into the way the funds of the HS2 are being dispensed since its shutdown announcement.

Credit to Phil Moorhouse on this one.

    This is an genius pledge. When have you witnessed the British state act swiftly and thoroughly on anything? Blair Brown years or other. Keir can promise this and win votes but he doesn’t actually have to reclaim a single penny. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this will claim back exactly nothing. And to avoid doubt I don’t think they should get away with it. Absolute scum they are. I just have no faith in the machinery of government to get this done.

    Also, absolute gas if the Tories turn this around and pledge “The lefty liberal Labour party want to take away your COVID benefits, only the Conservatives can stop them”. I half expect Braverman to come out and say this.

      I think Phil Moorhouse nailed it when he stated that the HS2 inquiry will stop the Tories selling the Land off to their mates. Who would want to buy this on a nudge and a wink knowing full well that it is going to be investigated for fraud.
