Today’s decision on HS2 is the wrong one. It will help to fuel the views of those who argue that we can no longer think or act for the long-term as a country; that we are heading in the wrong direction.

It's the 10th anniversary of the Same Sex Marriage Act, one of my proudest achievements as PM. Thousands of gay couples have been able to make their vows over the past decade as a result. It's proof that positive change happens when we all work for it. A very happy anniversary!🏳️‍🌈
