Polly Toynbee is a bit more than “Left Leaning”......she has a pathological hatred of the Right.

The “levelling up” argument is an interesting one.

Watching the news a couple of days ago and they were visiting various northern towns.

The general consensus from the average voter was that they were very conscious of infrastructure improvements in their area under Boris and were concerned that this would stop now he’d been forced out.


I never took “levelling up” to mean that my fellow northerners were going to each be given a load of extra personal money.


Improvements in infrastructure are where improving people’s life chances start unfortunately.
