"Thought that there some new fast-track process for "infrastructure of national significance" and that legislation was pending for more of the same to thwart the eco-warriors, the "swampy"s and the litigators."
maybe but people will fight THAT legislation through every court in the UK & Europe as well as an infringement of their rights to sue - and everything will be put on hold

parliament is no longer sovereign, even without the European dimension - just like the USA - checks & balances
