Policies of inequality as a strategy to stay in power? When Austerity most severely effects those who have least, many of whom historically don't vote Tory, whilst The Conservative Party ensures affluent, Tory voting, regions see more funding and support... It's political. Always has been. To think they've the audacity to talk about levelling up! #societalimpact #politicalleadership #ideology #citizens #livedexperiences #nationalpsyche #mindset #culture #economicimpact #socialmobility #economy #investment #education #productivity #incomeinequality #PolicyShapesSociety #policymakers #policyfailure #accountability

"Between 2010 and 2020, central-government funding for local authorities fell by forty per cent." "In Liverpool, where the Conservatives have not won a Parliamentary seat for forty years, spending, per head, fell more than in any other city in the country. Public-health spending in Blackpool, one of the poorest local authorities in England, was cut almost five times more, per person, than in the affluent county of Surrey, just south of London, whose eleven M.P.s are all Tories." "Poorer communities, particularly in urban areas, which tended to vote Labour, suffered disproportionately."
