@shivmalik @Sam_Dumitriu I hope not, Shiv. But these areas show very little signs that they will ever make the necessary changes to stop that, despite keen central government support. Leeds, Manchester and elsewhere are, instead, very pro-development and happy to see new homes.
@thomasforth Wow. The Midlands is even more striking than the north east/NI/Wales. This cannot go on much longer.
@redrumlisa 500 people!! It clearly wasn’t buzzing by any measure when thinking about the number of people who chose to live there.
@TorstenBell @tomelleryrees Are you not both switching between residency and occupation based metrics? Lots of deprivation in inner city Manchester, but it’s also where well paid jobs are for people (generally) living in the other districts.
@redrumlisa You’d do well to find too many of them tbh. 500 people living in the centre of the nation’s second city is not a positive sign.
Agree with a lot of this. Labour needs to put forward a new covenant between state and citizen, recognising the rights and obligations we owe one another. Only criticism is pitting graduate against apprentice. We need a politics that brings them together and views them equally.
Tony Blair's essay is a serious contribution. The party is drifting. Just Labour ends in the comfort zone, a place the country is sick of, and that ends in defeat. There is some common ground on policy reform: on welfare, on the North Sea, on illegal immigration, on growth
@DanCardenMP @cgdav135 Support a lot of this, Dan, but I think you get close to pitting the graduate AGAINST the apprentice. Both are getting screwed, we can have a politics that brings them together and a society that puts them on an equal footing 👍🏻
@GarethKaneLD @ElectCllrsUK One successful candidate suspended for antisemitic social media posts SO FAR.
@AaronBastani Must have had the loft converted/insulated well? Ours is 1900 and last night was horrendous. Loft being done soon, thankfully!
@AscendedYield Slop posting again. Athens and Porto have similar overnight stays to Liverpool and Manchester. Both have overnight levies.
@GarethDennis @TheGreenParty lol - hope he’s not attached to his deposit
@ObserverUK @FennellJW @RSylvester1 Utter drek sorry. Burnham wins with the members at a canter.
@GarethKaneLD Any update on this at all?
@AaronBastani @michaeljswalker Josh clearly more intelligent than c.90% of No10 staff since 2024. Get him in!
@AscendedYield Reducing regional inequality is not beyond our comprehension. We know how to do it, we just choose not to. Give city-regions powers over planning, skills, investment and revenue raising, support with transfers at first, and see subsidy requirement reduce over time.
@AscendedYield How does this tally with the relative growth of Scotland and Greater Manchester since they had increasing powers? As Britain has centralised more and more, those areas without powers have become increasingly reliant on internal transfers from London and the South East.
@dai_alectic Yes, very pro-developer and welcoming of private investment. But also much more municipal/pro-local government than New Labour/Heseltinism too. That carries through to Burnham today. (Below from the Bernstein interview)
@dai_alectic 'Manchesterism' predates New Labour, really. It's been ongoing since at least the early 90s. Burnham has successfully ridden a wave that was in motion for a long time before he became mayor (not a dig at all). Howard Bernstein's interview with Ed Balls/Harvard is good.
