@edbba727 Pretty grim to be honest: it was meant to be both a substantive and a symbolic investment in the neglected north west region, and of course in public transport as a route to economic and environmental justice. I think we can see which votes they believe they’ve already lost 🪦 

 @a284283e Ugh. So the inability to look past next year wins again. 😕 

 @edbba727 Oh God. They’re total hyenas. I don’t think they look past what’s going to personally enrich them in the next week. 

 @a284283e And in fairness, they often represent people who are just as shortsighted. Fund education? We know that always, 100% of the time, brings a huge return on investment to the local economy, but it would cost me a little today, so forget it! 

 @edbba727 also, if we better support education for the plebs they might compete with our own privately educated children… can’t have that, eh? 🤨
