Infuriates me, and should infuriate you, that UK has given up on all this. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/11/spains-high-speed-trains-arent-just-efficient-they-have-transformed-peoples-lives?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

FACTCHECK
Rishi Sunak claims he's saving families from "unacceptable costs" but he's actually going to cost renters £2bn/yr (by keeping their homes draughty) & drivers £6bn (bc EVs will be cheaper upfront by 2030 anyway)

Great to have the support of @PaulBrannenNE - a fantastic former MEP for the North East and a former parliamentary candidate for Hexham.
Paul knows what it takes to win across the region and I'm delighted to have his endorsement.

I’m backing @Joe_Morris91 to be the FIRST @UKLabour MP for Hexham. Joe loves the constituency he’s from. He knows many in Hexham are struggling with the cost of living crisis and that rural areas have been neglected by the Tories. He’ll fight for change and a Labour Government.
