Absolute s*** show of mismanaged taxpayer money. Totally shameful. 💸
Jordan Walker@JayW132

HS2. A masterclass in how Britain destroys money. The cost: • 2011: £32.7bn • 2013: £45bn • 2015: £55.7bn • 2019: up to £88bn • 2020: up to £106bn • 2026: up to £102.7bn… for a fraction of the original route What’s been cut along the way: • 2021: Eastern leg to Leeds: SCRAPPED • 2022: Golborne link to Scotland: SCRAPPED • 2023: Birmingham → Manchester leg: SCRAPPED • 2023: Crewe hub: SCRAPPED • Euston terminus: paused, downsized from 10 platforms to 6, now needs private finance Original plan: 11 cities, 340 miles, £32bn, open 2026. What we’re getting: 4 stations, 140 miles, £100bn+, open 2039. A national embarrassment, paid for by taxpayers.

@CarlBovisNature Was thinking the other day how crazy it is that we still have to be so avoidant not to buy things with it in. Makes me quite angry!

I was just looking for some chocolate WITHOUT palm oil in, in my local Tesco... I couldn't find any! Cadbury, Nestle etc etc all contained bloody palm oil! 😒 Anyone have an idea of chocolate brands that don't use palm oil? 🤔 🍫

@anon_opin There are definitely some more commonly strewn! All cans and plastic bottles should have the redeemable tax when recycled at a convenient depository. Like they do on the continent.

Drinks should have an additional tax that varies depending on how often the cans and bottles appear in street litter. This would probably double the cost of Red Bull - strangely it never seems to give any fucker who drinks it enough energy to walk to a bin.

Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough. Many years ago we asked him to take part in some item about Land Rovers on Top Gear, reasoning he must have been in a lot of Land Rovers in a lot of remote places during his on-screen career...

Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧
Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧@reformexposed·
Before Nigel Farage and Reform UK tell you he is now Prime Minister, note there are 650 MPs in Parliament and 20,000 councillors in the UK. Today’s results will likely end with Reform UK having 2500-3000/20,000 councillors and still just 8/650 MPs. GBNews, the Express, Spectator and Mail will tell you he’s about to be handed the keys to No.10. But it’s local elections, they will all be disappointed.

Absolutely crushing blow for common sense. People too busy putting flags up to realise they’re having their pants pulled down by the same person. Great job, let’s vote for the same charlatan who engineered Brexit, and ushered in all its many successes, such as ???

@LUDENClassics I’d be so embarrassed to drive a car with: - misspaced 14 plate desperately trying to look like a private reg - darkened plate immediately signifying driver is a tossbag - yes, parking surely is asking for people to key it? (I honestly don’t know what motivates key toss bags)

Hilarious video that shows none of the Reform voters know any of Reform's policies.

@josephkazUK The French and no doubt other European nations do this well. I really do unfortunately think the UK has this carelessness about its spaces now. Litter everywhere and no accountability

Maybe I have OCD but the increasing amount of council owned clutter on our high-streets really frustrates me. Here we have three different variety of bins. From left to right: 1) Household food waste (flats above shops) 2) Public mixed waste 3) Commercial recycling Now, I'm no expert, but how about we just design a waste hub that can be craned into an existing parking space (not footpath) that caters for all needs? @createstreets

@but_cyclists That person would have done that whatever the speed limit was there. So what you’re calling for is to either ban cars or to robotise / automate them all?

Speed limits are pointless too. Let's get rid of those. Why should I not be allowed to drive as fast as I want in a residential street? It's a free country after all.
Richard Wellings@RichardWellings

The overwhelming majority of traffic lights are unnecessary, yet the number installed has increased massively over the last twenty years. It's suspected this is a deliberate policy to create artificial delays as part of the wider anti-car agenda. transportxtra.com/publications/l…

You might find this interesting @RacingAerials There's an old speedway (not NASCAR, it was horse racing and VERY limited motor carriage racing) in my city. But the track never went away, and a neighborhood got built around it

@ConnorJHeath Honestly wanted to tear my own ears off. No football I’ve ever seen or heard has been any different to the one I heard last time. It’s actively painful to listen to them find it so interesting

Some passengers getting on my flight won’t stop talking about football. It’s the most infuriating dull crap I’ve ever heard. “If Coventry had won a goal, they’d be a team with a point” and all this absolute horseshit. How is there so much to say about it? Ugh
