TfL subsequently said that the £250m was only half of what it had
been seeking, so it doesn't look like there's yet a
budget to resignal the Picc.
Given it goes to the UKs premier airport and is the first
impression a lot of people get of the UK you'd have thought it
might have been further up the priority list.
The priority list for the government in 2024 is probably more about
where they can put the money to get the most votes to win the next
election!
Yes, no capital investment in any railway project is likely to swing votes
I suspect short of Kier Starmer quoting Mein Kampf at PMQs and goose stepping
out of the chamber sieg heiling there's precisely zero that will swing the vote
back towards the tories anytime soon.
Post by Reclinerin next year's election. That's why they'd rather put money into quick
return projects, like filling potholes.
If only. Councils of all colours are going bankrupt due to lack of government
support. Potholes are way down their priority list right now.
Perhaps HMG could could put a bit more effort into clawing back some money
from scum like Mone and her ilk who ripped off the idiots in the treasury
blind during covid.
