£1.1bn for a project that resulted in two new tube stations in London.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-58621491
£18bn spent on Crossrail.
Crossrail 2 going ahead at an estimated £30-40bn.
And up here?
HS2 cancelled.
HS3 still at chattering stage.
East Mids mainline electrification postponed indefinitely.
South Yorks - Manchester motorway vaguely talked about as something for the second half of the century.
Levelling up, eh? Got a f**king long way to go.

Looks like 'Levelling up' was just another aid to sales from the tories, get into government and make it up as you go along.

Doncaster, back on the agenda again, levelling up two years after the promise, if you can eat a white paper, hang on it's coming.
''Levelling up: What does it mean for people in Yorkshire?''
The Labour mayors of West and South Yorkshire have warned that the Conservative's "levelling up" campaign needs to be more than just a slogan.
''Since appearing in the party's 2019 election-winning manifesto, the term has featured heavily in press releases, sound bites, interviews and social media posts.
Ahead of the Autumn Budget on Wednesday, BBC Yorkshire's Political Editor James Vincent takes a look to see if it's having any impact on the region and what it might mean in the long-term.
Levelling up was a huge deal during the 2019 General Election, helping the Conservatives win seats in Doncaster and Rotherham that they'd never won before.''

It's as vague as what brexit meant apparently.

Whatever way you look at it there has been for a longtime a massive bias towards the south east.
Perhaps that's not so bad, so long as there is the opportunity for Northerners to move south.
Maybe the North is done? Maybe the rescources are gone? Maybe?
I'm not trying to provoke. It's just an observation.
And if that is reality, how does the North progress now?
The only reason I say this, is I know so many people who have moved South.

RD, wouldn't you think the North/South divide would have evened up a little after nigh on half a century of being a member of the European block?

RD, wouldn't you think the North/South divide would have evened up a little after nigh on half a century of being a member of the European block?
Theresa limited amount that membership of the EU can do to counteract sovereign domestic policies. But it can do something.
By the late 1990s, after a generation of the Tories being in power, South Yorkshire was one of the poorest regions in the whole EU. Which is why the EU gave us Objective One status and poured European money into our economy. That's why we got the Frenchgate Centre for example. And direct support to 11,000 businesses in South Yorkshire.
By the late 2000s, with £2.5bn of EU funds, supported by investment from the Labour Govt, South Yorkshire was well out of the list of poorest areas.
Then...Tory Austerity. And guess what? By 2020, we were back in the poorest group, and would have received £3.3bm from EU rich areas if we hadn't told them to shove it.
But sovereignty, eh? Doubtless, now that we've taken back control, Whitehall will be pouring money into South Yorkshire again...
-
RD, wouldn't you think the North/South divide would have evened up a little after nigh on half a century of being a member of the European block?
I don't know.
I think the underlying problem is the North had a vast wealth of rescources, that helped spark the industrial revolution. But when that wealth diminished, because those rescources were becoming uncompetitive... Then what's left?
Geographically the area loses out. If it's better connected, then it might do a bit better. But it's not going to regain anything like its past glory I don't think. It was a moment in time.

For a long time in 'the north' lower earnings were offset by lower property prices, it didn't help much with social mobility as you couldn't sell a home around Donny and buy down south. Since property prices have outstripped wages all that has gone. Faster train services if unreliable and expensive put parts of 'the north' within commuter distance of the capital, again not helped when those south of the rio grand (watford gap servo) thought it was a good idea too.
All up it's going to be a busy time with thousands of coppers and nurses still to hired, 40 hospitals to be built, NHS to be funded and high wages for everyone. Oh and levelling up.
-
RD, wouldn't you think the North/South divide would have evened up a little after nigh on half a century of being a member of the European block?
You would and it was actually starting to happen as Objective One money was earmarked from the EU.
However Rees-Mogg and his nutty mates didn't like this one jot. For pretty obvious reasons. That's another reason why he's so pleased with the Brexit outcome. The control of the purse strings and which regions get what is now firmly with the UK Government. If you're a solid Labour-voting area you'll get diddly squat.

What does levelling up mean to you?
To the Dept of Levelling Up it means assisting people to purchase a £9.5 million penthouse in Battersea:

Expecting any government to level up whether they be Tory or Labour is in all honesty laughable .
The only way to get a fair piece of the crust respective to the sector you work in is through collectivism or joining a trade union .
There's a pretty solid reason London Tube Drivers get £60k plus per anum
and that's because the vast majority of em are members of the RMT .
Nobody in the Tory and very few in the Labour party cares about the poorly paid .
They never have including Wilson , Callaghan and Blair .
Don't look to politicians to improve your lot you need to do that yourselves .

It will but the big question that's still to be answered is when will there be a high speed rail link that broadly tracks the M62 corridor from Liverpool to Hull?
It would lead to a northern conurbation roughly on a par with the S East.

Burnham's just got a billion quid tonight for Manchester according to what I've read tonight .

Compare that to what has already been agreed for Crossrail 2 alone.
£33bn.
London gets two state of the art underground railway lines. South Yorkshire gets a new roundabout in Barnsley and investment in a tram system used by under 3% of the SY population.
-
Don't get me wrong. This is better than nothing. But when all the current investment is over, public transport in SY will be even further behind that in London than it is now.
That's not "levelling up". It's "Pulling further apart".
-
If ever HS2 ever gets up to Yorkshire that will be another project that gets used by something like 3% of the SY population.

Absolutely totally correct Hound .
The workers in your town who clock on at Amazon won't benefit directly one bit .
Same argument as free movement within the EU .
The capability to earn a living in the EU and enjoy all the trappings was limited to a very small percentage .
But lets not talk about class as it's the truth that isn't allowed to speak it's name .
Sat in your dining room working from home on a lap top is totally different to having to go in to work on a bus or train to do a shift at a care home or an Amazon facility with covid 19 around .
Nobody cares Hound with the two major party's .
Levelling up ?
I'm afraid the real people will have to do that themselves .

I remember not so long ago many telling me that rail was never a good substitute for trucks to get containers off the roads, my argument was that the bulk of containers should be moved by rail and only the last bit by road. It saves building endless roads and leaves roads free for those without options. iport, I see only needs a fork trucks to move containers the last bit.
-
I believe that was the idea behind inland rail ports, but the transport industry is so ingrained in moving stuff by road it's a joke, during the Second World War the roads were so poor that something like 80% of all goods went by Sea on the massive fleet of small coasters that existed hence the massive air and sea battles off The Kentish Coast. Then we turn to roads!
A few years ago it was mooted that it would make sense to load all of the containers which arrive at Felixstowe and Southampton, which have been at Sea for months onto same coasters and transport then virtually anywhere in the country via our excellent Canal Network.
The Don can take Euro Barges up to 700 tons as far as Rotherham and 400 tons up to Sheffield.
220 feet long by 20 feet wide. I bet that about 20 Containers on each barge.
-
Think the i port is getting a new bridge for the bus service that’ll be all we get

You're right about our excellent canal network.
BB and Wolfie were telling me about the time when the barges were pulled by horses.
-
Containers could be floated up and the tow path used once again
-
There's a tanker that goes up the river Don regularly, carrying some sort of fuel I guess. That's the only real commercial traffic using it at the moment.
Tesco use the Manchester ship canal I believe.

Burnley, not fc but just add a few more letters and you'll get the idea. I would think that there are areas large and small like this across the country. When Sunak brings down his budget have a think whether or not people the circumstances such as this will be helped.
''He has also seen a striking increase in alcoholism. “That’s due to the pandemic. Many, many people have lost money and relationships and businesses because of Covid. And the timeframe between when help’s needed and when people might get it – in that gap, people die. That’s something we see more of.”''
''“Because of the way things are sometimes portrayed and the way people think about the current prime minister, we think that they’ve been in power for two years,” he says. “But when they talk about levelling up … well, what we actually want are things that they took away.”''

It does have a feeling of an abusive relationship. A man regularly slaps his wife about for a decade, then buys her fish and chips and she's supposed to think he has changed.

This is from a parody twitter account:
Proud to announce we are levelling up the UK with a £2.6 billion fund which replaces the £4.5 billion fund you were getting from the EU. This means we are funding poorer regions to the tune of a whopping minus £1.9 billion! Isn't this brilliant?
https://twitter.com/GetBrexit_Done/status/1455289891579998213
Although as we now know, its not even all going to the poorer regions - quite a bit has been allocated to wealthy areas with connections to Tory ministers.

Looks as though the government is in the dark as much as everyone else, I hope no one voted for it.

''But after the Observer contacted senior sources at the Treasury to ask if its ministers had signed off on the promised £1.5bn, Gove’s department backtracked and confessed that the “new” fund was not new money at all but would be made up of levelling-up funds that had been announced by the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, in his spending review last autumn''

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.

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.

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.

My dear Sydney if a town's economy is strong it doesn't see a growth in charity shops , second hand markets , budget supermarkets , Poundshops and race to the bottom jobs .
All of which opened by the week during the Blair and Brown years .
Poverty isn't totally defined by food banks and poverty didn't begin in Barnsley in 2013 .
It's always existed and didn't stop during the years 1997 to 2010 .

''the world’s best broadcaster''
Then why are you breaking it up and selling it off?
a National Health Service which guarantees care for every citizen.
If you live long enough! If it's so good why has it been starved of funding for most of the time since 2010 well short staffed and waiting lists the length of the country?

catalysing a range of sectors. Levelling up will require us to:
a. boost productivity, pay, jobs and living standards by growing the private
sector, especially in those places where they are lagging;
b. spread opportunities and improve public services, especially in those places
where they are weakest;
c. restore a sense of community, local pride and belonging, especially in those
places where they have been lost; and
d. empower local leaders and communities, especially in those places lacking
local agency

To the casual observer the last 12 years or so may look like we have been trying to wreck the joint, but that's just our way of tearing it down so we can rebuild it in our image.
Remember, if you want us to complete what we started be sure to get out and vote on Thursday.

We are blessed with a temperate climate in the uk.
We get a bit of everything granted. Sometimes when it’s not welcome.
I’ve just spent the weekend in North Norfolk.
Glorious spring weather. So much so I got burnt whilst out walking.
Fields full of flowering rape seed.
Big blue skies.
Light sea breezes.
The press will be moaning at the end of the month it’s been too dry.

Sunny and warm with no rain in Bentley yesterday. I was expecting a hosepipe ban today.

Maybe not to you but having read some of your trolling of my posts I can understand why you don’t find many things funny.
You are one very serious boy.
Plenty of other posters understand.
Anyway, we are all different aren’t we.

the Queen refuses to compromise herself and shoves the right-charlie out with a pointed stick
''In a move to reinstate measures thrown out by the House of Lords in January, the government will announce new offences to stop protesters from “locking on” to infrastructure, extend stop and search powers, and make it illegal to obstruct transport projects''
Does this mean they will hand themselves in to the nearest copshop over HS2?
