Labour is back on track with its high-speed rail promise

[JessieHogg]

Andrew Adonis's ambitious high-speed rail project proves that there are still good ideas coming from this government.

Andrew Adonis, the Transport Secretary, outlined his plans for a high-speed rail network to the cabinet on 9 March, he was applauded
by his colleagues. At a time when Labour is accused of running out of ideas in advance of its unlikely attempt at a fourth term in office, Lord Adonis stands out as a minister of energy and vision.

We have got quite used to various Labour Ministers announcing ideas over the last thirteen years, some of them even quite good ones, only to see them badly implemented or not implemented at all. Lord Adonis may stand out, but only in comparison with his colleagues on the Labour front bench.

In the unlikely event that this inept shower are re-elected I should prefer to see them act with some economic responsibility and take steps to reduce the annual budget deficit and the national debt.
