Victoria Derbyshire does not let Tory MP Miriam Cates lie

#LevellingUp #NorthernPowerhouseRail

A significant moment you may have missed at the end of #PMQs - gasps across the House as Conservative MP Jake Berry calls out the Prime Minister on his broken promise to the North. #NorthernPowerhouseRail

#HS2 is NOT a Welsh project.
#NorthernPowerhouseRail ( #NPR ) is NOT a Welsh project.
They will both take business away from Wales AND WE ARE PAYING FOR THEM.

Don’t get angry, get Indy.

Just spoke in the Budget debate to call for more investment in Bradford and an end to the growing unfairness in our economy. I called for an end to damaging local lockdowns with no support & urged the Government to get on and build #NorthernPowerhouseRail with a stop in Bradford!

Davies: It's difficult, we've had covid, financing, and changing and you know moving parts

Bruce: But the Prime Minister promised this during covid back in February

Davies: Err

We love it when a plan comes together.

The 2019 Conservative Party Manifesto promised to build #NorthernPowerhouseRail , a new high-speed railway, between Leeds and Manchester. I wonder if any of the 2022 candidates will reinstate those plans?

To be fair, Boris Johnson promising one thing then delivering a really shit alternative to 'get it done' is very on brand. #NorthernPowerhouseRail

So #HS2 and the #NorthernPowerhouseRail then. Who’d have guessed? [For tomorrow’s (Fri 19/11/21) Telegraph]

I'm more than trebling our investment in the #TransPennineRouteUpgrade to up to £11.5bn, slashing journey times, ushering in #NorthernPowerHouseRail & cutting carbon by 87,000 tons🚄 I've also released over £950m to get on with the next phase of upgrades. More on this below 👇

I understand that many in the North are more concerned about #NorthernPowerhouseRail , but it actually can't be delivered without #HS2 as Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP wrongly claimed on #LauraK to Victoria Derbyshire this morning.

Here my explainer on Times Radio this morning 👇

Whatever you think of HS2, building Crossrail in London and HS2 from London to Birmingham, then abandoning the Nottingham to Leeds HS2, is betrayal of promises and commitment to Midlands and North modernisation. #HS2 #Nottingham #NorthernPowerhouseRail

We must have both #HS2 and #NorthernPowerhouseRail built in full to truly transform #connectivity in our region; to give our people and businesses the network they need and deserve to achieve their ambitions; to rebalance the economy, and realise the #levellingup agenda.

In today's #TreasuryQuestions I asked the Chancellor Philip Hammond if he will support calls in our cross-party letter, signed by over 80 MPs and Peers, for £120bn of investment spending in the #North by 2050 and the bringing forward of #North ernPowerhouseRail.

I once said I'd help the North level up with brand new rail links and modern infrastructure.
#NorthernPowerhouseRail

The road to levelling up in the #North is by rail. The new watered down plan will not deliver the high pay, high productivity jobs my constituents deserve. A plan made in Whitehall, another broken promise for every Tory MP elected in the North East in 2019 #North ernPowerhouseRail
