Universal Great Britain

Labour are investing money in HS2 and Great British Energy. Both of which will cost hundreds of billions. So theirs no chance they will invest in this as well.

Not true.

Any government will invest where they think they’ll get a decent return. HS2 was the previous government’s white elephant too.

I thought they'd cancelled HS2, and sold off the land? I haven't been following the news though. I just remember the fallout when they cancelled the northern routes, a few months ago.

Labour is buying the land back and restarting it lol

HS2 cost so much because of the ridiculous amounts of tunnels that are being constructed to please nimbys.

This project wouldn’t cost the government anywhere near as much. With much lower risk.

Ask yourself this. Would a labour government support new housing or a theme park?

Both

Without turning it political, or expressing a bias, this Labour Party's pretty unorthodox. They've made a song and dance about being pro-business. So I couldn't say for sure. Time will tell.

I think this is a disingenuous over simplification of the issue. The money to fund infrastructure improvements and houses (Which are largely privately built) come from separate budgets as I think you know

Try not to get pulled into anything Doug says. One minute he claims it 100% isn't happening because cars are being banned, and then the next he states it's happening but it's going to be based on movies that don't exist yet.

I didn’t realise it was the same guy, I guess we all need a hobby

Bingo! Should have told them all to swivel and done embankments/cut and cover and it would have saved us billions.

You never know, if this goes ahead a new branch line for HS2/Universal may be built years down the line.

You seriously think the government are going to reject something that will generate however many billions in tax, be a huge boost for the UK and a project that 92% of people support?

Nothing gets that kind of support. England playing in the Euros final probably didn't have 92% of the country supporting them.

It is such an easy win for the government.

So why did the last government not see eye to eye with universal?
