Holden: Government is not neglecting transport in the North
The transport minister, Richard Holden, insists that the government is not neglecting the North, despite looming questions over the fate of HS2.
The minister blames spiralling construction costs of the new high speed rail line on inflation, sparked, Holden claims, by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Trump Putin talks could happen soon as the U.S. president revealed he might speak with Putin this week, hoping Moscow will agree to a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine.
