Digs at the Green Party leader aside for changing her position, you don't make a convincing case for HS2.
Currently, it costs £300 for a single individual to travel by rail from one end of England to the other, so it's cheaper to travel by road. HS2 won't be bringing that price down any time soon. And with everyone's bills dramatically increasing due to being forced to used costlier electricity for power, installation of expensive heat pumps and purchase of even more expensive EVs, households won't have a surplus to spend on HS2 rail, so it might well be less solvent than the current rail network. Which then begs the question, is the environmental damage worth the actual achieved benefits?
