As the electrification of the Leeds-Manchester rail line is again put under review to see if 'savings can be released', what successive authorities seem to miss is that each time they delay to review (to find costs savings), they're increasing the cost, making the extent of actual savings needed to make their target cost reduction that much harder, until eventually, the delays themselves raise costs so much the project (perhaps by design) becomes uneconomic.

“Significant reforms to #immigration & #border policies that would have addressed the crisis at our southern border were blocked by #Trump because he didn’t want the problem solved. He wanted to exploit it for personal political gain.

“Since 2014, I have had the honor of being mayor of #Mesa, the nation’s 36th-largest city & one of the most #conservative. Under Trump, American #cities didn’t get the support they deserved. #Infrastructure week was made into a joke.
