Look out, he's got a gnu!
And yet... many of us have been pretty surprised by how strongly this was pushed by central govt. Not only strongly pushed but supported by some completely sensible guidance documents containing loads of good stuff based on what people traditionally on the other side from 'the tories' have been saying for ages.
Of course, they might go back on it all in the next couple of years - we'll see.
They are going back on it now as much as they can. They are meeting stubborn resistance. They are also gutting train funding. In regards to doing what people have been asking for years this is part of the problem, government in general does that, it waits 10-20 years then does what it should have done sooner.
We do have to see where this falls out but I'm not confident about the future. This is the very peak of a massive shock to the system and I've no trust or faith in the people in charge.
