House of Lords to move to York & the House of Commons to go on tour.

[Pickman's model]

Boris Johnson is a man who would spend ten billion quid on submarines and diving gear so he could rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic a hundred years after it sank.

His visit to the wreck could be arranged. One way, of course

If this goes ahead, I’m guessing this could impact house prices in York and surrounding areas?

There'd be a killing to be made on longer-term rental property, which would have a significant impact on house prices.

Personally I think York simply isn't big enough to cope with the added infrastructure - but Leeds could, as could Newcastle..

It's not going to happen anyway, it's just spin to demonstrate tories now taking north/outside of SE seriously, like fuck they mean it

Yeah, but nonetheless I think moving the HOL up North is a very good idea.

Sadly, I believe you are absolutely right.

Constructing a new (upper) chamber at Grytviken will require a lot of additional labour. I'm sure that Pickman's model has this in hand.

If York's infrastructure can't cope, maybe there should be a purpose-built new capital in the region, along the lines of Canberra or Brasilia - it'd be an ambitious project, but I think it could be done if they had a new York state of mind.

Yes, Corbyn and other labour mps will be constructing these

Or even a Newport state of mind.

Spoiler: Newport state of mind

If the ermine do get shifted to York, that Black Rod's gonna have to get a move on.

Only been there once but my impression was of a town, not a city. It's not even the county town of the county that's named after it.

It's a city, population about 200k, but size doesn't matter.

Look at the City of Wells in Somerset, population about 12k, and where Taunton is the county town.

Counties. There is more than one county named after york. Oh and generally a city is a city because it has a cathedral not because it has a large population, see eg St asaph

I'd prefer penguins, personally.
