Spot on. Some of those constituents will seriously regret ever listening to that fat bumbling buffoon.Well......people in the North East voted for this spiteful cabal .....they own it.
And, as usual, the good people suffer.
But hey, Bozo "got BrEXit dun".
They are definitely not chosen at random. Money has gone into tory held marginals and into cabinet held seats. It is pork barrel politics at its finest.Must admit my understanding of levelling up was if we look at statistics of say smokers in Surrey and Blackpool there's something like a 20% difference (can't remember the numbers) which impacts life expectancy
If you looked at life education of say Middlesbrough to Cambridge and look at future earnings again it was meant to be about balancing equality
Or at least the white paper it is based on was. It looks more like cash randomly thrown at projects
But maybe I've misunderstood
I think its for the local authorities to put in bids for projects, looks like some put in more bids than others?
Gove on Breakfast news said the decisions on which bids were successful were made on 'strict criteria'. He did not say what those criteria were. You can probably guess at some of them.They are definitely not chosen at random. Money has gone into tory held marginals and into cabinet held seats. It is pork barrel politics at its finest.
It was also about spending money on infrastructure all over the north to create an economic “powerhouse” similar to London.Must admit my understanding of levelling up was if we look at statistics of say smokers in Surrey and Blackpool there's something like a 20% difference (can't remember the numbers) which impacts life expectancy

Levelling up: Rishi Sunak defends giving money to richer South East England
Labour says North East England is "one of the big losers" from the latest funding to boost deprived areas.www.bbc.co.uk
Yep.It is, and so already stretched departments have to use valuable resource and money submitting bids, only to find they've lost because of what colour rosette their MP wears.
On the contrary there plenty of criteriaBillingham needs levelling, not levelling up!
Just kidding! I was actually going to bring up the same Billingham / Yarm comment.
There is no levelling up criteria being applied here to determine where the money goes from what I can see.
