I know that when London succeeds, the whole country succeeds. But the Conservatives are the most anti-London Government in living memory, excluding it from funding and talking London down.
Over the last decade the Tories have slashed funds for local government but the biggest cuts in the whole country are being forced on London. It’s easy to think that London is in and of itself a wealthy city with fewer problems than other parts of the country, but this just isn’t true. London is the most unequal region with the highest poverty rates in the UK and the Government has continually refused to support the capital.
