Hmm, the speculation is they're going to cancel the fast train from Manc-Brum; I'm just wondering if they're going to soften it by doing more east-west. Sunak's constituency is in Yorkshire, the Manc-Brum line doesn't help them at all. He can't really reinstate the Eastern line at the moment; so I wonder if he's going to do York<->Liverpool improvements or something like that.

@penguin42 some wishy washy northern powerhouse rail investment I bet

@falken Possibly; if he wants to dodge it a bit, he could give a big wodge of cash to the Northern towns for transport and say 'it's your problem'

@penguin42 Newsnight is calling it much like that right now. Burnham live on BBC2 shortly. Should be epic.
