A competition? This isn't f@cking Blue Peter.
How about a public and transparent procurement exercise that places it in the best location with access to the best people for the best price possible? |  | | |  |

How about Swindon? Historic railway links and a nice, big, empty site that used to be used by Honda pre-Wrexit. |  | | |

Maldon East and Heybridge. It's the obvious choice. |  |

Derby and Crewe might want to have a say in this
Which Tory marginal seat is likely to benefit from this? |  |

The key defining characteristic of Brexiteers is that they will never, ever, ever take ownership of the reality of Brexit. To do so would entail acknowledging that the remain side were right to warn of the negative consequences and that the promises of sunlit uplands were the stuff of fantasy. Essentially the second they own it, the lies on which is was built are exposed. It simply won't happen. It will always be someone else's fault. And that means we all have to live in a political landscape built on deceit and deflection. | |

It’s got to be somewhere that might highlight and prioritise the woefully inadequate northern rail network and service. |  |

The rest of Europe (and parts of the world) is pushing ahead with super fast broadband. The UK is spunking billions away on something that is already obsolete - HS2
Covid has merely pushed change in working patterns a bit faster. The ludicrous idea that we waste billions for something that is now targetted to be more than a decade away to save 20 minutes on a journey in one part of the country is extraordinarily stupid - even for Johnson.
Whereas using that money to ensure the furthest flung parts of the country have access will enable resources to be assessed better, and not squeezed into one part of the country, one of the ideas behind HS2.
Why does a solicitor or any specialist need expensive offices in town centres when Zoom etc allows them to locate to somewhere cheaper and perhaps better suited to him/her and their family.
The usage of phones etc to access the internet has seen bank branches close, meeting conducted at distance....and so much more. Yet here we are with the usual rightwing hotch potch designed to deliver a profit, not a service.
If the past 10 years have seen such phenomenal growth in so many areas. what will the next 10 years bring. A rail line still not finished at huge cost.
Maybe the Tories will want to re-use the canals for commercial use, avoid HGV drivers and as one of their lot said - break the supermarket supply chain so "the the farmer down the street will be able to sell their milk in the village shop like they did decades ago." Chris Loder, Conservative MP for West Dorset
If nothing, brexit has certainly provided a means to define the polarisation of much of the country, into those who want to embrace the future and those who want to cling to the past - however much damage it does. | | | |

The structures of Government are made to govern in the 20th century. It's reactive and unpragmatic. When you add a perfunctory Tory Government who's only concern is self preservation you have a really dangerous combo.
Imo we will lurch from one crisis to scandal to crisis until we front up to the inadequacy of our national infrastructure like trains, motorways, telecomms, workforce with no common access to labour, hospitals etc. |  |

It’s a great museum but York doesn’t need rail infrastructure and electrification investment like Leeds and the whole trans-Pennine network needs it.
Putting government into the heart of problems, rather than detached from them in Westminster and Whitehall is a step in the right direction. | |

Exactly, the sensible thing would be to put it in somewhere with high passenger numbers, and a need for rail infrastructure improvement.
However, knowing this lot, there's more chance of it being Derby Road than Derby. |  | | |

Good - I hope they cancel the whole extraordinarily wasteful white elephant, and spend at least some of the savings on improving the infrastructure that's already there + new rolling stock.
The world's changed since the project was conceived, but this govt. has never been exactly flexible in its thinking. | |
