$675 doesn't strike me as especially outrageous for a high-end lawyer. Especially if millions are at stake.

I think they think “15 minute cities” implies some sort of cordon. They think it means “you have to live in a 15 minute circle” not “you don’t have to leave your 15 minute circle but you can if you want”.

Americans - how routine is a two hour journey?
I have booked to London for December, which is a 95-105 minute train journey plus a 5-10 minute cab ride and a wait in between.
Is such a journey length normal or exceptional?

If Rishi Sunak does scrap HS2 north of Birmingham, the Tories have lost any chance of getting my vote for years. This would mean most of the costs are incurred without the benefits.

I think FoM has been very badly sold, and conflated with other immigration issues that are really quite separate. (Notwithstanding what seems to me a far-fetched link that refugees will live in Germany just long enough to get a German passport then come here - why would they?)

How is this a bad thing? Unless you’re whingeing for the sake of it?
HS2 needs to go to Euston. It also needs to go (at least) to Manchester and Leeds (personally I’d run the west to Inverness via Glasgow and the east to Aberdeen via Edinburgh).
Last year Mark Harper insisted the private sector would pay the full costs of delivering HS2 to Euston, knowing full well this was unachievable.
Now he's reportedly allocated £1bn to Euston instead.
