Well HS2 is a go now according to Johnson although I would hate to be the new 'Minister for HS2' that hes's going to appoint

Oi Darmy,

A question you're qualified to answer, why do thick people confuse "More then" with "More than"?

Of course, whatever Johnson says is true...More then likely it is one of those Tory diversionary tactics, get people talking about it while the Tories slip through a bit of unpopular legislation

You think there's even a .0001% chance of it actually being built ??

What it could come down to is the UK taxpayer subsidising the building of one of Johnson's vanity projects for 2 countries that may well not be in the Union when it is completed.

Who wants to travel between NI and Scotland anyway?

Surely an Anglo-Irish bridge would be more useful?

Oh they will certainly be in the Union...

She doesn't need to ask Boris Johnson to do anything. The devolved NI settlement gives them the right to hold a referendum on independence 'once in a generation', or as the settlement states, no more than once every 7 years.

And will she?

Don't hold your breath on any of your speculations coming true.

McDonald later told BBC Newsnight that she should be Taoiseach as she had won the election. She said if she did become the prime minister she would start preparing for a border poll to test support for a united Ireland and would ask Boris Johnson to do the same.

Never going to happen.

But it would be useful for Scotland for when Ireland becomes re-united and Scotland becomes independent and is back in the EU.

Come on clown, build us a bridge

The blonde feckwhit is still at it.

Those the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.

It's just a PR exercise.

"I'm fulfilling my pledge to look for ways to improve the North". The review will say that the practicalities were insurmountable and it will be dropped. But he can claim he did look into the feasibility of doing it.

HS2 is also a PR exercise now. More realistically achievable, even if it is too costly. But then France for example has surged ahead with such rail infrastructure projects and compared with our historical engineering position in the World, we are way behind.

HS2 is unlikely to benefit us directly here in Wales, but I support HS2 in principle, not because it will benefit the North, but it will be seen as a prestigious project, just like the second Severn crossing, etc.
