There's an argument that he is to blame for the inflationary pressure the country is under. You could criticise his response to the Covid pandemic. You could criticise Boris for his handling of Brexit. #levellingup #infrastructure #leedsbusiness That must start with improving the infrastructure in the North - if you can't connect the North and South, jobs and growth will continue to be London-centric. Sunak and Truss talked about levelling up in last night's debate. If you take my lost productivity over that period, which must add up to at least a day, and multiply that by the thousands of people that were equally affected, you can easily see how this would hamper growth and job creation. today, all trains cancelled from Leeds to London, again no advance notice connecting trains from the local villages to Leeds cancelled with no notice (and hence miss the connection from Leeds to London) trains from Leeds to Manchester airport cancelled at last minute Whilst it has been an overwhelmingly positive move from the Midlands, there has been one glaring disadvantage - the transport links from the North to the South are appalling. On the positive side - it keeps us recruiters very busy! The next time they are interviewed someone needs to ask what they are going to do to reverse the catastrophic impact Brexit has had. Politicians need to stop talking in short-term soundbites just to get elected (chosen) and we, the electorate, need to hold them to account. Tax cuts and energy rebates will not combat the fundamental supply-side issues the UK economy is now facing. The supply of both labour and materials have been hit in the past 12 months by three things:ġ) the lack of labour post-Brexit and, as per the article below, the long-term impact of Covid on working patternsĢ) the impact Brexit has had on the availability of goods and services from the EUģ) the impact on raw materials because of the conflict in Ukraine
The problem is: the economy isn't lacking demand - it's the opposite.
In the latest round of Tory leadership events, both contenders have talked about "getting the economy going again", focussing on putting cash back in people's pockets, to combat the effects of inflation.
