YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak canceled the northern leg of the UK’s HS2 high-speed rail project, betting that re-investing funds in alternative transport links across the country would be more popular with voters.

“We’ve ended the HS2 drama and in its place will embark on a full-scale national re-investment,” Sunak said in an hour-long keynote speech at his Conservative Party’s annual conference in Manchester on Wednesday, his first as leader. “Today we went beyond ideology and put the people first.”
