I'm pretty sure that the MML will be electrified to Kettering (and Corby).
It's the sections north of there that are now off the agenda yet again.

Whats special about kettering compared to Nottingham and Derby which are
much larger connurbations?

Only that it's the junction to Corby. Frankly, they should implement one

So whats special about Corby?

At one time (until the station was re-opened) it was the biggest place
without a railway station.

They're both past their best midlands towns without much going for
them.

People were trying to reverse that decline.

of those battery EMUs shuttling between Corby and Kettering - with
charging wires at either station - and leave north of Bedford to
diesels. At least until they can find the money to extend Thameslink to
Leicester.

Either you find more paths for extra trains or no one south of Luton will
be able to get on in the rush hour

Clearly you've not read the reports of train loading on the line.

if you extended Thameslink that far north.

How far further north do you think Leicester is than Peterborough?

Plus the timetable would probably become a work of fiction.

Why?
