Semantics, dear boy. But whether he's good at making money or simply just happened to get paid a lot at some point in the past, he's ****ing useless as a politician.rick_chasey said:Sunak isn’t a money maker so much as his education meant he had the network to get a high paying job somewhere.

To put that into context there are currently over 150 million HGV journeys a year in the UK. Also, it is slightly disingenuous to say it will add those journeys as HS2 currently doesn't exist so cancelling it is just removing the opportunity to take them off the road.0
-
On the flip side, onie of the investment cases for HS2 would be that 500k lorries would be off the road in (say) 2030. Now 2030 has 500k lorries more than forecast.0

The other daft thing about the article is the cost of it. For tens of billions you could create VTOL hubs and fly the goods about. Much quicker and minimal infrastructure to maintain.0

You don't have to maintain a track though and spend hundreds of billions making it. That cost compulsory land grab could be used for homes to live in. Don't we need homes to live in?kingstongraham said:

I only asked what it was for. Where's the plane going while it's charging or being maintained? There doesn't look like there's a lot of space in the illustration.focuszing723 said:

You could have three at each port or whatever is required, build them next to solar parks. I've just read something hang on...kingstongraham said:

Most eVTOL aircraft can fly up to 25 to 60 miles, which is far less than the range of most electric cars. If eVTOL can't outpace electric ground transportation, they will prove an insufficient option for passengers and airlines alike. Our hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft has a range of up to 750 miles.https://www.odysaviation.com/blog/evtol-vs-hvtol-which-tech-will-win-the-sky#:~:text=Most eVTOL aircraft can fly,for passengers and airlines alike.&text=Our hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft,of up to 750 miles.

She really does think she’s some kind of political genius who got treated badly by people who weren’t clever enough to understand her. Complete nut job.0

Thick Lizzy must be being marketed hard so that in comparison HiRiskAnus looks sensible?0

You may mock, but I think she has a pretty good chance of being leader again eventually. Imagine if you will a Tory party hammered at the next election, realising to their horror that racism, xenophobia, restrictions of freedom of speech and press freedoms, and climate change denial are all not that popular. What silver bullet would they go for next? The "Singers" tax model?0

No, it you simply explain to the market that she's the Messiah, it will all be fine.rick_chasey said:

Besides, as leader of the opposition it won't matter. Once she's lost an election, someone else can have a go. It's only fair.0 -
It is genuinely interesting/concerning what the Tories will do if they do get hammered at the election - the worry is that too many of the half-sensible pragmatists will have decided that they are a lost cause, allowing the Trussloon faction, with encouragement from the likes of Bannon & big money of the US far right anti-abortion crowd to hijack it, at which point Truss will be re-imagined as the Virgin Mary or an anglicised Joan of Arc.0
