“Twas always thus.”

Despite grand plans to “level up” the country economically by trying to make investment more attractive to business, London and the South East are still propping up the rest of the country.

Having shattered the “Red Wall” which divides the country when winning the 2019 election, the Conservative Party set about consolidating their position but delivering change to areas that had been socialist for decades has proven far easier on paper than in practice.

Big business has invested heavily in the South East, the infrastructure is already in place, even the geography is against change, with proximity to the Channel Tunnel and another significant driving the status quo.
