The PM has, all week, denied that a decision had been made on cancelling HS2.
So how come the video announcing the cancellation was recorded back in Downing Street *before* heading to the Conservative Party conference at least a few days ago?

EXCLUSIVE: Patient Zero in the AIDS epidemic in the UK finally has a name, John Eaddie.
In 1981, the 49 year old was a paragraph in a medical journal. 40 years on,
@PaulBrandITV
and I can reveal his story and finally remember him.
40 years ago, doctors witnessed the mysterious death of a gay man. It was the first reported case of AIDS in the UK and until now, he had never been identified. Four decades later, ITV Tonight can finally reveal his identity and pay tribute to him.
Hard to put into words or pictures just what it’s like in Beirut after the explosion. It’s been an honour speaking to everyone rebuilding their lives, again. So welcoming despite everything going on. A trip I won’t forget 🤯.
A few months ago
@PaulBrandITV
and I set out to see if we could finally identify and pay tribute to the first person to die of AIDS in the UK. For 40 years his name was Patient Zero, or, The Brompton Patient.
Now, we can call him by his name. John Eaddie.
