https://erskinemay.parliament.uk/section/4912/recall-of-mps/ If she was suspended from parliament (not just the party) then she would meet the conditions for recall. I don’t think she has been suspended, yet.

Also; 1/10 of voters is a high bar to meet in the Tory heartland.

Obviously blocking you doesn’t work otherwise I wouldn’t see this nonsense. I’m not your personal Fucking google assistant.

If someone tells you it’s raining outside do you ask them to prove it or do you look out of the fucking window?

As I stated, china don’t publish that information and it doesn’t take a genius to work it out. Troll.

I’ve only got two decades of civil engineering experience in Europe china and now the uk to draw on. I can’t provide a source for the absence of Chinese reporting on land costs because you can’t prove a negative. Although it should be blatantly obvious that comparing the cost of building something in the uk to the cost in china is simply pointless. Here’s a link to a high speed train collision in china that killed a heap of people: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenzhou_train_collision And another one: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/high-speed-train-derailment-china/ … and a link to construction labour deaths https://clb.org.hk/en/content/china’s-most-dangerous-industry-getting-more-dangerous

The point being that china has a very different equation when they go about doing things to here in the uk.

Frankly I shouldn’t have to do this for you.

This is a well researched article which cites its sources and wasn’t posted by a Reddit bot so I have to wonder who is downvoting it?

Lol, you have just described our MP (and I suspect most Tory mp’s!)

I’ve worked as a civil engineering consultant in china, comparing how the deliver a major rail project to here in the uk is frankly moronic. It isn’t bias, it’s fact

You only mentioned china, where they don’t report on land costs because all land is state owned but yes I do believe land compensation is much less in china, not least because HS2 land compensation is significantly above market rate. Also; an authoritarian regime with only superficial regard for the health and well-being of their workers, that are paid almost nothing is certain to be cheaper. Suggesting otherwise is banal.

Edit to add Troll alert.

The land cost alone for hs2 runs into the billions, it’s just very expensive to do.

…or I might use their online chat and record it, that’s a bot and doesn’t do anything useful!
