MINISTERS have refused to deny reports that the £60 billion HS2 project won’t result in the service linking the north with central London.

According to a local news source on Friday, January 27 ministers were in the midst of discussions that could see the link with Euston station being delayed significantly or scrapped altogether.

A review ordered by ministers last year in light of the need to cut costs is due to report shortly but the Department for Transport has already warned that “tough decisions” would need to be taken. One of the options that card details and it doesn’t appear that passwords were stolen, however, they have written to customers warning them to be on the lookout for scam emails, texts and calls: An email sent to customers said: “We take the protection of customer data extremely seriously and we are sorry this has happened.” is said to be on the table is the delay of the link by between two and five years. Another is the scrapping of the Birmingham to Crewe and Manchester legs of the rail link. Consideration is also being given to building a new hub at Old Oak Common in West London, which would see passengers having to disembark and catch the new Elizabeth line to reach the city centre.

British Army not at top-level

A SENIOR US general has apparently told the UK’s Defence Secretary Ben Wallace that the British Army is no longer regarded as a top­level fighting force. The unnamed officer is believed to have told the minister that decades of savings needed to be reversed if the country was going to regain its fighting status, particularly in light of the war in Ukraine. Sources within the ministry speaking to a news source on Monday, January 30 said: “Bottom line... it’s an entire service unable to protect the UK and our allies for a decade.” The same sources warn that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was in danger of failing as a wartime leader unless he took urgent action to address the growing threat from Russia. They say that the reduction in the size of the army needed to be halted and a further £3 billion needed to be invested in the military. But that may be easier said than done with the UK facing extraordinary budget pressures.
