This is a scorched earth approach to politics - if the Tories don’t get to rule Britain, no-one does. It’s not just Rishi saying he can’t afford to do HS2 now, it’s him saying that if a future government is able to find the money, he doesn’t want them to be able to do it out of pure spite.
This decision is a microcosm of why these people are unfit to govern.
