Great for Dorset, but what about Buckinghamshire where HS2 is still destroying roads & creating unsafe conditions? @HuwMerriman when will this ridiculous standoff between @HS2ltd & @BucksCouncil get sorted?HS2 must pay for repairs to damage it’s done

This is disgusting @HS2ltd. Over 10 years ago #sheephousewoodSSSI was highlighted to you. Clearly, it’s always been your intention to destroy habitat, like all the other #HS2 lies!

Has anyone else been scammed by @RoyalMail for counterfeit stamps and charged random amounts to have letters released? One was from my Mum who purchased the stamp from post office. It’s disgusting to think this is happening. It’s happened 2 times now

The government is finally admitting the costs of HS2 are likely to exceed the benefits. It's absolutely scandalous that ministers refused to cancel the project years ago, despite being warned repeatedly by independent economists. beleben.wordpress.com/2023/1… #HS2

If he wants a referendum on HS2, not sure he’d get the answer he’s looking for… with latest poll showing only 8% strongly support the monster! #stophs2 #scraphs2
Burnham says HS2 should be put to the people. Tells @timesradio: "They shouldn't really be taking this decision without calling a general election because it would just not be right for them to do what they're reportedly planning to do when they do not have a mandate to do it."

Filming with @brennannicholls for @BBCSouthNews on why the government should scrap all of HS2, including phase 1, with a backdrop of HS2’s devastation and waste near Sedrup, Hartwell and Stone. This madness needs to stop.

The exorbitantly overpriced HS2 project should never have been approved in the first place, but it needs to be stopped now: telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2023… #HS2

Proud of @BucksCouncil taking firm action to stop HS2 chopping down yet more woodland.

One of the biggest establishment lies is that HS2 is a green project. In reality, it's harming wildlife, scarring the landscape, polluting the ground, and consuming vast amounts of energy. bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/23… #HS2

HS2 is causing immense disruption to residents and businesses along the route - and the fact it's an uneconomic vanity project, that will do more harm than good, makes it all the more distressing. bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/23… #HS2

Has to be the most corrupt public project ever & finally the rug is being pulled.Two years down the line it will probably be shelved indefinitely, just an easy way of saving face by ‘putting it on hold’.
Devastated for all those trees felled & areas wiped

If #HS2 is to be "delayed" indefinitely or stopped north of Birmingham, #Lichfield and other areas must be compensated and damage to the land made good.

This is becoming more farcical by the day. We need to have the courage to halt this cash gobbling turkey of a project. 🦃
