Centre for British Progress @britishprogress.org · Apr 3 Building was once a national act of confidence. We laid 6,000 miles of railway in a generation. We built sewers, town halls, reservoirs, and housing for the masses. Today? We can't build a railway to the Midlands without cancelling it halfway through.
