Thinking about the article I posted above about Burnley a good line for labour to throw at the tories would be ........... Build back what you broke!
To start levelling up this government first needs to get back to where it started back in 1979.Since 2010 the number of emergency food parcels distributed by Trussell Trust food banks has risen from just over 40,000 to well over one and a half million – an increase of 3,900% in just 9 years.https://www.charity-works.co.uk/food-bank-britain/#:~:text=Since%202010%20the%20number%20of,3%2C900%25%20in%20just%209%20years.HoC libraryFood Banks in the UKhttps://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-8585/

Tyke.There's no point looking at food Bank data from 1997-2010 because food banks barely existed then. THE biggest success of the Blair and Brown Govts was that they lifted more people out of poverty than any other Govt in our history. It is a stain in the nation that that success has been so massively overturned since 2010.
Levelling up here in Cornwall or atleast parity to what the EU was handing over. Means this EU money average last 10 years , 106 million a year first year Cornwall applied to the initial Community Renewal Fund requesting the maximum 3 million and got 1 million. So 1 million instead of 106 million. Sunak and co said Cornwall would not lose out and so did the local conservative MPs here. Said it would be a mixture of levelling up and replacement EU money. No money has been given to Cornwall for levelling up, not a penny. Shared Prosperity Fund, which is set to replace the Community Renewal Fund from 2022 has a maximum amount of 400 million going forward a year. For Cornwall to have parity with EU payments before Brexit. They would need roughly 25% of that pot every year. Never going to happen. It's expected to bring in lest than 20 million based on the share Cornwall got for the entire UK as it did from the EU. So 20 million instead of 106 million a year, how is that levelling up. Already my local leisure centre is closing as has out local ambulance station. It's dire. Especially for those on low incomes who benefited the most from Council services who were struggling prior to Brexit, add the cost of living, the house prices up by 50 % in some areas and you can see why Cornwall is becoming a ghost town of holiday homes. Must be the same all over the country, lied to our faces and they are still in power.
