According to the news this morning, Northern Powerhouse Rail is actually set to go ahead! It is planned to be delivered in 3 phases.

I don't know why but this is filling me with dread. Like, Labour isn't going to apply to extend the powers for #HS2 Phase 2a (the cheapest bit of HS2), which lapses soon and instead go back to the drawing board. I hope I'm wrong.

We've now been there. We've tried everything on the menu. We know the food is horrible.
Imagine holding a referendum on whether to keep eating its terrible food. That's a very different starting point from the last one in 2016.
