Politicians from all sides in the North and Midlands have called the Prime Minister's cancellation of the HS2 rail link to Manchester a catastrophe.

Transport Secretary Mark Harper is promising to invest the £36 billion saved in to travel projects across the country.

Mark says the legal decision to cancel part of HS2 took place after Susanna questioned the Prime Minister on Tuesday, despite the announcement video being filmed at 10 Downing St before the PM attended the Tory Party Conference.
