    I’m afraid @grantshapps wrong to claim #NorthernPowerhouseRail not related to #HS2. It isn’t separate between @manairport & Manchester Piccadilly. As he has misled viewers when answering questions on #LauraK programme he should clarify his remarks to @vicderbyshire @joncstone

    I’m travelling on the hourly express train from #Teesside, #NorthYorks & #Leeds to #Manchester & @manairport. I’m going across to talk about need improve connectivity across #Pennines & more widely. I’m with many others standing on a three car train. It’s just not good enough

    Yesterday we were led to believe this was happening - so I welcomed it. Misleading @NP_Partnership & northern public not a good way to build trust. I’m writing to @HuwMerriman today & will seek clarification urgently, @LeamsideLine is integral to #NPR & must be built in full

    So… the web page with this list of Network North projects in the North East appears to have vanished. And there is no mention of the explicit commitment to reopen the Leamside Line in the government’s 40-page policy document.

    He has no credible basis to say this, it’s numbers he has basically just made up

    Lord Tony Berkley tells #Newsnight he thinks the full cost of HS2 is closer to £180bn (his 2019 independent review put it at around £100bn)

    Andy is absolutely right - we need a #RestDayWorking deal and we need it now as I told @seanfarrington earlier on #WakeuptoMoney @bbc5live @NP_Partnership

    People are sending me pictures of train chaos from all corners of the North this morning. We need our MPs to push for an Urgent Question in the House. The new Transport Secretary has a deal for rest day working on his desk and needs to sign it off as his very first act.

    Replying to @Dominic2306
    You literally ran the campaign against a North East regional assembly, which put back the cause of repatriating powers to North by two decades

    For anyone following electoral race or policy on #Teesside this is huge development Steve previously was involved in STDC in its initial phase, negotiated to get steelworks back from the Thai banks & so his view on the sitting Mayor is not from a long-standing critic or sceptic

    The inflationary pressures are real, but this response makes no sense. Having already cut off Leeds, then don’t go to central London - you really have to wonder how anyone in govt thinks any of this will support growth. By @MrHarryCole in @TheSun
