 Hmmm... as previously noted, #JeremyHunt successfully lobbied to get #HS2 to start at #Euston, not in the suburbs (wherever it might go Northwards), but now the property development aspect of Euston station has been enlarged & is expected to cause a decade of disruption in the area.

Wait a minute, I hear you day, isn't Euston in #KeirStarmer's constituency?

Would it be too cynical to see this as a way of undermining the Labour Leader's grip on his seat in the future? 
 @43d7c4ea Honestly, I really can't see Holborn moving away from Labour any time soon.

In theory yes. In practice almost certainly not. The effect of the kind of property development seen elsewhere in central London has been to drive out #conservative voters and replace them by non-voters. That is why #westminstercouncil is now #labour !
