Once again, the North gets the short end of the stick. After endless chatter about ‘Levelling Up’, the latest Spring Statement delivers nothing for us, once again. Labour had a golden chance to prove they care about the North by investing in jobs, infrastructure, and opportunities. Instead, they’ve reverted to type: showering attention on London and the South, leaving us to fend for ourselves.
Remember when Boris turned the Red Wall blue in 2019? It wasn’t just about Brexit, his infectious optimism or even Corbyn and his Marxist cronies. It was about smashing the Whitehall mindset that treats the North as an afterthought. We dared to hope for a rebalanced economy, where opportunities aren’t hoarded south of the Watford Gap. But this Spring Statement and previous 9 months of Labour Government? It’s a slap in the face, reported the Express.
