We must learn lessons from HS2 as we need new rail infrastructure. Spades were in the ground before the project had been fully designed & tunnelling was done because of political pressure. It broke the mantra of major projects, which is 'plan slow and build fast'. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There is a lot more to do & while constituents tell me that their experience is getting better I know that there is still more to do, and more progress to make. We should not forget the difference that a Labour Government can make & we can't take this progress for granted.

I am not clear what would be achieved by changing leader, nor what they would do differently, or change that would tackle the wider economic and political issues facing the UK right now. 2/4

I do not believe that now is the right time to change Prime Minister, nor do I believe that there is an obvious successor who could step in at short notice in the event that the Prime Minister is forced to resign. See below for my full statement... 1/4
