I have a cheap online subscription through 02 rewards, but as a paper it is read by several influencing people.
Gives a good overview, concluding with
"Losing Alstom’s Litchurch Lane site would make Britain the only nation in the G7 without a combined train design and manufacturing capability. Nearly 200 years after first leaving the station, the end of the line for the industry is in sight."
Does look like Sunak's preferred "cost and time effective" transport is a RAF helicopter
Government U-turn at PM’s request prompted ‘frenetic’ scramble, air force reveals

"Figures show Mr Sunak has taken a taxpayer-funded private flight for travel in the UK once every eight days since he secured the keys to No 10."
"The decision followed criticism over his
use of the aircraft for short trips, including
flying from London to Southampton, a journey that would have taken an hour and 15 minutes by train and cost £30 return."
With subsidised buses for those without access to helicopter or cars. For some reason, unlike previous PMs Sunak does not seem to like trains?.
