Exposing a multibillion-pound cover-up at HS2

As the cost began to spiral, HS2 bosses allegedly shredded documents, sacked whistleblowers and used misleading projections to keep the scheme alive and the cash coming. We speak to the team behind a new investigation into the beleaguered rail project, and hear one whistleblower’s secret recordings. HS2 Ltd denies any wrongdoing.

'Bond King' Talks Selloff, Property Peril & CEO Pay

On today's podcast:

(3) London Stock Exchange CEO Julia Hoggett says the City of London is being hamstrung by low salaries.

(4) While much of the attention in the real-estate crisis has focused on landlords and owners, developers look the most exposed.

If I Only Had a Train

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.

Is Rishi ditching a tax that would make him and his mates richer?

Rishi Sunak and his lectern are promising 'long term decisions for a brighter future'. But just whose future is getting brighter?

Plans for HS2 are in chaos after rumours the PM might be about to ditch the wildly over-budget rail project. He's called environmental policies heavy handed - and ditched some of those targets. And now his ministers are starting to suggest that inheritance tax could be 'deeply punitive'. Will that be axed too?

And we discuss the outlier poll for ABC news which gives Trump a 10 point lead over Biden in a presidential election.
