HS2 was greenlit over a decade ago and now the Manchester extension seems doomed. What does that say about Sunak’s priorities? Does he even have a mandate anymore? And even if he does, is it too late to make it make sense? Plus, hands up, who hates London? Will the UK ever sort out the North vs South debate? That’s Oh God, What Now? with Andrew Harrison, Alex Andreou and Marie Le Conte.

“In the end it will just be two steam trains between two villages ironically named HS2.” – Alex Andreou.

“A government has to follow through. There comes to a point where a debate has to come to an end.” – Alex Andreou.

“If you take out finance and the oligarchs, London is as poor as anywhere else!” – Alex Andreou.
