25 questions about (another) early general election – and the horror show it could be for the Conservatives

The more one thinks about it, the more problematic it becomes.

James Palmer: We need a Minister for East West Rail

We must drive this project forward. It is a vital piece of infrastructure which could allow a million new homes to be built. But we need to sort out the route.

Shaun Bailey: Khan has taken his eye off the ball on Crossrail

It was on time and on budget when Boris Johnson left office. Now the opening has now been pushed back from December last year to August 2020.

Judy Terry: Councillors are still too passive in allowing costly procurement and infrastructure projects

There remains a culture in much of the public sector that no-one will ever be held to account for wasting money on unworkable vanity projects.

The first department to need boosting post-March. The Treasury? Business? Transport? No: Northern Ireland.

The challenge to “our precious union” will be as much constitutional as economic – Deal, No Brexit…or No Deal especially.

No deal planning. Hancock goes early, orders it – and sets an example.

Chris Grayling: Here at Transport, we’re getting ready for Brexit – whatever happens. But here’s why I’m backing May’s deal.

If I had been offered this before the referendum in 2016, I would have seen it as a much better alternative to the status quo inside the EU.
