| 1639675463348912129 | @stophs2 I have said it before this will be happening all along the route of all the HS2 Tunnels. The @EnvAgency should shut down HS2 tunnelling activity until there is an explanation for this problem at Ruislip Rugby Club. | 17 |

| 1638093239419916290 | @HS2 the last hole was foaming. Now you've all but admitted you were using chemicals in the Mid Chiltern Chalk Aquifer. Why? @ZackPolanski @TheGreenParty @GreenJennyJones @BrightGrn @GreenWorld_UK @stophs2 @GreenAgainstHS2 https://t.co/vpL3QsAbta | 4 |

| 1640269777892458496 | Only a decade ago, supporters lied that all of HS2, from London to both Manchester & Leeds, would cost ยฃ34bn. @edballs lied that Labour would withdraw support if it exceeded ยฃ50bn. Now a truncated HS2 costs over ยฃ110bn, & Euston alone will cost ยฃ5bn. @Hs2Rebellion @stophs2! https://t.co/AwvaWb0gDE | 3 |

| 1639961037175771136 | This is humiliating. After 4 days supposed 'campaign' group @stophs2 (in reality a woman in Bournemouth and a man in Kenilworth) have poorer Twitter metrics than many people who are moaning about their footy teams! #stophs2isdead #hs2 https://t.co/hOmNR8ajOW | 11 |

| 1637828646676185091 | @EmBeck2015 @WestyHaynes @TransportActio2 @NationalHways How many acres of land are wasted as nurseries for saplings that developers, road-builders & HS2 plant, neglect & let die? How many barrels of oil are wasted making plastic tubes to "protect" them? The result is acres of plastic tubes full of dead twigs. @stophs2 @Hs2Rebellion | 9 |
| 1639983238335561729 | @stophs2 @RishiSunak @Jeremy_Hunt Hope this project is scrapped ASAP. 1000's of acres of priceless irreplaceable countryside dug up for a vanity project . Train system just needs updated trains and maintenance of the plentiful current networks/lines | 8 |
