In a twist of events, a revelation by ITV News has cast doubt on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s claims that no decision had been made regarding the Manchester leg of the HS2 high-speed rail project. The revelation comes after Sunak posted a video on X outlining the scrapping of the rest of HS2, recorded at Downing Street at least three days ago, before his appearance at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester.
The video, set against the backdrop of a Union flag and a hanging picture, was verified by ITV News analysis, confirming that it was recorded in a room at No 10 Downing Street, historically used for welcoming world leaders.
