Labour will not undo Rishi Sunak’s decision to scrap HS2, as the party will work with what inherits at the next election, “not the one we wished we did” as top shadow cabinet minister has said.
In an exclusive interview with The Yorkshire Post ahead of Labour’s conference in Liverpool, Pat McFadden, the party’s shadow cabinet office secretary and national campaign coordinator said that Sir Keir Starmer’s party will not be “pressing rewind” on the landmark decision announced this week by the Prime Minister.
It comes as a spokesperson for Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Commons Speaker, said that he “shared the frustrations” of one member of the public who wrote to him regarding a major policy announcement being made to the media, rather than to MPs in Westminster during Parliament’s recess. More widely, when asked about the party’s vision for Yorkshire and Levelling Up at the next election, Mr McFadden said that current projects announced by ministers would also be honoured.
