How do you inflame #Northern #voters (again)?
By announcing that the money that has been saved by binning large elements of #HS2 & replacing it with the hodgepodge of fragmented projects in the (so-called) Network North is now going to be spent on filling potholes in #London.
Wrong on (the claimed strategy fo) #LevllingUp;
Wrong on #publictransport for a #greentrnasition, and
surly a miscalculation if trying to keep 'new' Northern Tories on side.
But would we have expected anything else?
