What about climate justice?
As if the only impact of climate breakdown is heat. Also; where is India and china’s contribution to climate change. Frankly, this is bullshit.

Cuba uncovers ‘human trafficking ring’ recruiting for Russia’s war in Ukraine

Russia has a lot of grain it can’t sell, NK has a famine and a lot of (probably rusty) soviet shells. It’s a match made in a goulag.

You hit the nail on the head there.
I expect all you have to do is follow the money to find out why their ideology is so flexible!

I’ve worked as a civil engineering consultant in china, comparing how the deliver a major rail project to here in the uk is frankly moronic. It isn’t bias, it’s fact

You only mentioned china, where they don’t report on land costs because all land is state owned but yes I do believe land compensation is much less in china, not least because HS2 land compensation is significantly above market rate. Also; an authoritarian regime with only superficial regard for the health and well-being of their workers, that are paid almost nothing is certain to be cheaper. Suggesting otherwise is banal.
Edit to add Troll alert.

Boris Johnson allies launched unprecedented campaign to undermine the privileges committee, report says
Reply in thread
It’s essentially an honour based system so there’s no real consequences.
Although… I do wonder if there are grounds for the charge of misconduct in a public office. Johnson’s behaviour seems to meet some of the tests set by CPS but I expect it would need to be referred to them and that will never happen.

Labour gain Tamworth
Reply in thread
So… it seems that with a low turnout from tories, between them reform uk, Britain first and ukip took enough votes from the conservatives for labour to steal a win. I desperately hope that we send the tories packing next election but it’s hard to see this as anything other than a protest vote.

So tell me you don’t understand without saying you don’t understand.
The HS2 act, which effectively set the costs (known, unknown and unknowable) was passed by a Tory government desperate not to upset their financial backers in the Home Counties.

Nadine Dorries' constituents 'pawns in a political game'

https://erskinemay.parliament.uk/section/4912/recall-of-mps/ If she was suspended from parliament (not just the party) then she would meet the conditions for recall. I don’t think she has been suspended, yet.
Also; 1/10 of voters is a high bar to meet in the Tory heartland.

As I stated, china don’t publish that information and it doesn’t take a genius to work it out. Troll.
