The government has scrapped the Leeds leg of the HS2 high-speed rail line as part of a package that ministers promise will transform services.

The prime minister said the overhaul would mean faster travel up to 10 years earlier than planned, and said claims of broken promises are "total rubbish".

The package won support from some business leaders, and anti-HS2 groups.

But Boris Johnson faced criticism that he had reneged on investment promises to the Midlands and north of England.
