UK prime minister Rishi Sunak has confirmed he is cancelling phase two of the long-standing high-speed rail network project, High Speed 2 (HS2).

Key Points: 
  • UK prime minister Rishi Sunak has confirmed he is cancelling phase two of the long-standing high-speed rail network project, High Speed 2 (HS2).
  • Sunak has said HS2 in the north will be replaced with a new project, dubbed Network North.
  • Is it a replacement for the previously announced (and since significantly downgraded) Northern Powerhouse Rail?
  • Or is it a more comprehensive plan of rail, metro, bus, road and active travel projects?
  • Sunak made a point of saying that the north needed regional connectivity, not to London, but between the east and west of the country.
  • Northern Powerhouse Rail, initially conceived in 2015 and developed by Transport for the North, was planned on the basis that HS2 would be delivered in full.
  • The extended HS2 station at Manchester Piccadilly was central to the Northern Powerhouse plans, in that that station was already accounted for in the HS2 budget.
  • Since 2016, however, this focus on cities – in terms of the benefits HS2 would bring – has shifted.

Coronation arrests: how the new public order law disrupted protesters' once in a lifetime opportunity

It was also a once in a lifetime event for the 64 mostly republican protesters who were arrested on coronation day.

Key Points: 
  • It was also a once in a lifetime event for the 64 mostly republican protesters who were arrested on coronation day.
  • The police expressed regret not explicitly for arresting them, but that they were “unable to join the wider group of protesters” elsewhere.
  • No equipment is needed, though in the case of the coronation, the police claimed that luggage straps could be used.
  • Public nuisance was recently codified (from the common law) in the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022.

The right to protest

    • In UK domestic law, the right to protest is guaranteed in the Human Rights Act 1998, which protects the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression.
    • An important legal principle when considering how, when and where people should be able to protest is that limited forms of disruptive protest are still protected by law.
    • The court held that an intentionally disruptive protest could constitute a “reasonable excuse” in law, and thus be protected – disruption does not mean protesters automatically lose their rights.

Chilling effects

    • Many senior retired officers, now free to speak out, were very concerned at the direction of travel in the new public order law.
    • There are also real concerns about police use of social media to spread (intentionally or not) mixed messages about their powers and the law.
    • But as David Byrne goes on to remind us, “same as it ever was” – in music, as in policing.
