Theresa May has committed to delivering the HS2 high-speed rail link.
The prime minister was reportedly coming under pressure from Tory MPs in the south to cancel HS2, which the government projects will cost £55.7bn.
Her announcement ends speculation that she was preparing to drop the new north-south railway from the Conservatives’ general election manifesto.
That sound? That is the sound of the Chilterns weeping into their skinny lattes.
