🧵 1/2: Hear from the professionals complaining the government has done everything not just to derail but also to keep adding to their costs:
"There isn't a single route that we run that we can do end-to-end on traction" (yes, they use trains, ever smelt those?) and " access charge has increased by 140% since 2010" (oh, the year the came to power!) .
I cannot overstate how "third world" this is looking...

🧵 2/2: what saddens me is not so much that the always went about doing what they are best known for (destroying , emptying coffers for private gains), but that 's have already walked away from their pledge and routinely insist that any social or policy with a backbone are "not grown-up policies". Sure, keep being condescent to your electorate, great tactics! https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/feb/08/labour-cuts-28bn-green-investment-pledge-by-half

: "The UK should invest £26bn a year in a low-carbon economy to revive prosperity instead of planning tax giveaways that will only lead to further stagnation, leading economists have advised.

Investing in energy infrastructure, transport, innovation in new technologies such as AI, and the natural environment would boost the UK’s economy rapidly, the research found.

Public investment at that level would be likely to generate about twice as much accompanying investment from the private sector, and would quickly pay off in higher productivity, efficiency savings, economic growth and carbon reductions, according to a major paper by Lord Stern, a former chief economist of the World Bank, and colleagues from the London School of Economics.

Current government plans to stifle investment, by contrast, would lead to a “continuation of stagnant productivity and weak economic growth”."
