    Maybe he said no as none of Bradford’s MPs are Tory?

    They are on road to oblivion, once the crazy trans issues to which the potential leaders are witlessly signing up for become news. Traditional Labour supporters will know the game is up, for good. Why can't they just focus on being in charge of Islington?

    In what way has he made it less representative, brexit was always going to be devisive many remainers were quite happy to see everything that was put forward by the government defeated by the opposition and speaker hence the overwhelming victory for Boris in the December election.
    I was trying to a counter the arguement about the 68% in the Boris's cabinet were privately educated , but point out many Labour MPs or their children were privately educated, a little "do as I say not as I do" hypocrites the lot of them.

    Bradford has finished its useful life, no point wasting money on the sinking ship.

    Bradford is a branch line, Its forefathers had little vision, As you say unless they are joined and a through line built Bradford will always be a satellite of Leeds

    Correct me if I am wrong, but Foster Square is on an electrified line, and the interchange is not electrified, therefore it would require a whole upgrade on the interchange not just a connection between one and the other, not to mention how it would go through the City seeing as there is a court, hotel, St Georges and now Broadway all stood in the way.

    Wouldnt stop them if it was London

    Anyway Boris has removed the minister for the north and we now have a junior minister. Meaning no cabinet representation. Seems to me like he got his votes and now hes selling you all out.

    I agree one law for London another for the rest.
    The votes he gained from the Northern voters can soon be reversed, that is of course if Boris does not do as he's promised, and the Labour party sort themselves out.

    Grant Shapps is a minister for transport, the northern powerhouse is more than just transport. Be helpful if you could understand the issue at hand.

    Have a watch of this and ask does it matter who is the next leader, they don't sound to have moved on, same policies bar Brexit that lost them the last general election and delivered Labour the worst defeat in 80 + years.
    Andrew Neil certainly makes them squirm, Keir Starmer trying to convince Neil in the areas where immigration/free movement were major concerns after discussing it with the electorate people have agreed it was a good thing.

    The Tories have to screw up big time to lose the Labour Brexit vote, and when you hear the comments from these two, you have to wonder if you voted Labour you are wasting your vote.
