Labour cannot commit to building HS2’s northern leg if it wins the next election after the Government “took a wrecking ball” to the project, Sir Keir Starmer has said.

The Opposition leader warned he was unable to promise to reverse Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s announcement, but said he was in talks with leaders across the North of England to provide better “connectivity”.
