Train Ride to Nowhere (with Lord Tony Berkeley)

After HS2 came up as an issue in the Chesham and Amersham by-election, Labour peer and former chairman of the Rail Freight Group, Tony Berkeley tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Roger Hearing the rail project is still a really bad use of scarce U.K. resources and does not answer the country's transport priorities. Berkeley says he is also campaigning on what he sees as inconsistency in the easing of the Covid rules for football supporters but not for musicians and live venues. Bloomberg Opinion columnist Therese Raphael joins to discuss the fragile politics of Northern Ireland, as the DUP changes its leadership, and the impact on the efforts to find a way to settle trade issues with the EU, five years after the Brexit vote.
