I am fascinated by the undiscussed differences in that 'London is funding' article.
For example, what on earth has gone wrong in Northampton? And Swindon? Neither of those fits the article's North/South divide narrative, yet both appear to be struggling. Whereas Gloucester appears an unlikely powerhouse of tax revenue! I wonder why?
Why is Swansea, with its small size and many geographical disadvantages doing OK, while the capital, Cardiff, with all its investment and good transport links going backwards?
Hurray for plucky little Ipswich and Peterborough! But can Luton and Milton Keynes really be considered now as outside of the area of Greater London...?
