78 comments all with one recurring theme - condemning the labour state government for shamelessly selling off taxpayer assets in the dying days of their time in power!

About the most charitable comment was this one:
"Since parliament will not meet again until after the election, why do election conventions not apply here. Election conventions ensure that no major decision is made that will bind the next government. Even though the election has not yet been called, the convention should apply." Surely that convention should also have applied to the recent signing of the contract for the M2 Widening Project.

Three months ago this blog posted a letter from Richard Talbot on this topic, and it seems everything he forecast is coming to pass.
