A number of senior Tory MPs are said to have warned the Prime Minister again scrapping the Birmingham to Manchester leg of the controversial HS2 project
There are rumours circling of a split in Sunak's cabinet over the future of the HS2 line. The PM is said to be considering scrapping or delaying the Birmingham to Manchester section of the line, despite work already beginning on phase two. He is also reportedly considering ending the line in a west London suburb instead of the planned terminus in Euston station in a bid to but costs further.
“Things have significantly changed since lockdown. People will now sooner jump on a Zoom to save time and money. So it’s the right thing to do and yes, stop it as soon as possible… “The Prime Minister is saying that money, £120 billion plus for High Speed 2, would go into the local infrastructure across the North, connecting the great cities of the North from Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, connecting all of those up, as well as giving better local transport, because HS2 is sucking the money and the life out of our local transport.”
