You can simultaneously not be “reviving HS2” but still be considering something which is in practice a version of it aimed at fixing much the same fundamental problem You don’t call it that, because politics (And then everyone else mostly just calls it HS2 anyway)

Such brilliant news. I have the honour of chairing the Members Board at Prospere Learning Trust and know how great Grange School is. This recognition is thoroughly deserved - here’s to the final #BestSchoolPrizes2024

‘It enriches your mind in every way’ I love learning languages and as I come to the end of a week at an intensive German language course I agree that there is lots to be said for learning 🇩🇪 theguardian.com/education/arti…

@23gleave Agree - It’s a shame when you see other cities and what they can deliver

We are doing a survey of LGBT people and their career progress to establish whether there are any barriers. Please could you complete it and then forward it to anyone you know in the UK who is LGBT and ask them to complete it. Thanks so much xx prideinleadership.co.uk/news-list/a-ca…

@Juergen_Maier @energygovuk Congratulations @Juergen_Maier excited to see this - as you say a huge opportunity to change the dial - great appointment

Justin Bieber, one of the world's biggest popstar for over a decade, has revolutionized the music industry since his rise to fame as teenager. His journey of growth and resilience continues to inspire millions, but there are many things that very few knows. Let's uncover those lesser-known aspects of his life and career.

@ministract Loved the fact you rose to the challenge 😜

@cjgrayuk Failed to deliver on your timescale but something should be in your outlook inbox now! You’re a rascal for challenging me - you knew I wouldn’t be able to resist 😂

Oh yes!

This is just so depressing; as if the £189 standard single in the morning wasn’t already pricing people off the trains. I often wonder whether “HS2” as a name was a key problem and people just assumed it was all about speed, not fundamental future capacity

@jimmoran Absolutely opted out when I was there last week ☔️ though is due to get better so fingers crossed

@cjgrayuk I am particularly glad we didn’t choose today to travel to France from Manchester, which was the original plan. Slight disappointment that France also seems to have opted out of summer this year.

A great read and timely as today I’m living our UK infrastructure failings in real time. Cancelled flight into MAN this morning, 40mins in LHR waiting on tarmac in for gate once landed, finally made the Avanti train north but of course the aircon is of course in heat mode 🥵 😤
