Almost like it was a non-starter. Who could have possibly foreseen that?

I was amazed they still tried to get it through until now. This Sunak government has been criticised (rightly so) for getting nothing done.

Why make a big song and dance about something that experts and companies were saying was impossible, just to have to cancel it.

It highlights once again how truly useless and incompetent the tory party is at the minute.

I think they just want the headlines for being seen doing something, they don't actually want to implement anything

Sunak is absolutely obsessed with doing exactly that. You can tell he just craves the prestige of being Prime Minister but isn't actually interested in doing the job, it's embarrassing really.
