This week, the UK Government released its long awaited plan to "level up" the United Kingdom but it has been criticised as unambitious and rambling.
"Levelling up" has been a buzz phrase for the Prime Minister since he was elected. He appointed Michael Gove as the man to deliver "improvements to every part of the UK" and last September a government department was rebranded to include "levelling up" in its title - ditching the existing "local government".
At the time, Mr Gove said it was to be the "defining mission of this government" and said it had responsibility to preserve the union of the United Kingdom.
