The #HS2 facts haven't changed, costs always exceeded benefits, the plan was sexed up. On 28.2.11 I said on @r4Today that it would be cancelled but only after £bns squandered. The final outcome is even worse. Enquiry needed.

HS2 didn't just fiddle the figures on the business case, they did the same on the environment. The #HS2 nature loss sums are wrong say the @WildlifeTrusts #ReThinkHS2. Sign the Open Letter: wildlifetrusts.org/hs2-sign-our-o…
It was clear when @KwasiKwarteng was on the transport select committee he could be easily hoodwinked by a dodgy (HS2) business plan (costs x3 and benefits slashed since then). But now we're completely screwed
Our old house! And what was once the beatiful leafy greenway. What an appalling loss of nature for the @HS2 white elephant

"The village of Burton Green looks like a war zone while the work goes on .. Although Mother Nature will help to heal the landscape one way or another in future just like she always does, many will still lament the loss of ancient hedgerows and woodlands." birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…
Why does #HS2 tweet so much? Because someone is paid a fortune to do it, in a desperate attempt to convince the public who know its a white elephant.
This is utter nonsense. Speed is not green. There are no flights on the HS2 routes.

Can you make decisions on rail investment on cost? A heated argument with Pete Waterman on BBC breakfast in Jan 2012 #HS2 youtu.be/HLbtsW7fRMs
Even way back in 2011 when the cost was said to be £33bn, we said #HS2 costs exceeded benefits m.youtube.com/watch?v=swKabV…
I said on R4 Today in 2011 that #HS2 would be cancelled but only after squandering billions. It was clear from the March 2010 document there was no case for it. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Much faster, cheaper, and less damaging than #HS2. We can do better than investing so much in what is at heart Victorian rail technology unherd.com/2019/08/the-la…

Oh dear - HS2 costs 20 per cent over budget before a spade has been turned. Likely to lead to delays?

Farmers are concerned with not only a financial, but also an environmental and perhaps a social, bottom line #OFC16
If entrepreneurship is broader than only commercial gain, farmers may be as entrepreneurial as other sectors #OFC16
