'The damage that does to our international reputation… it’s difficult to get across the harm it creates in the future'
Sunak was told scrapping HS2 would be popular by aides who he lashed out at after public anger
It is causing concern among rail and business leaders, some of whom have spent years working on the project.tomorrow, it’s a monumental betrayal of everything that industry thought the Government was about: levelling up, infrastructure and net zero. On Tuesday, Mr Sunak continued to refuse to deny that he is about to cancel the northern leg of HS2, insisting that he will not be forced into any “premature decisions”.
Mr Reynolds warned that scrapping the Manchester leg would impact future decisions on whether companies like his take on UK Government projects. “All the things that are coming forward were done on the basis that it’s the King’s Cross of the North — now what do we get? We get nothing instead.”
