catastrophic waste of money, he will have a huge amount available for more rail infrastructure in west yorkshireve got some very tough questions for me. making the decision is a big call for borisjohnson, sceptical about the cost of a project whose full benefits might not be felt until these downing street visitors have grown up. but under pressure to say yes, with helpful advice from former rivals in his ears. it would be nuts to cancel hsz. this is going to connect the north of england and the midlands to the south and help level up the economic geography of the uk. and frankly you can't be a government that says you are committed to the north and committed to infrastructure, as this government does — and i really welcome that — then cancel the biggest transport insfratructure project ever conceived for the north of england. there are the practicalities, the price tag, but of course the politics. hs2 is wildly overbudget and it will take years to complete. but remember the government won the election in part by making big promises to connect the country. to correct the lopsidedness, to things
