Just so weird to have the two largest parties in British politics --- both, in their words, completely committed to devolution --- fighting over who introduced an all-England bus fare cap, one of the most anti-devolution and centralising policies possible. – at Starbotton, England

If the government chickens out raising taxes. And it chickens out of cutting spending. Then it'll cancel infrastructure investment in North England. Pretty standard stuff.

"The Birmingham [Tram] Eastside Extension project spent nearly as long waiting for ministerial sign off (3 years and 4 months) as [equivalent] French and Spanish [metro and tram] projects took to plan and build (4-5 years)." > 💔

It's not finished. This is just the outline. But I wrote about why North England is poor. Which it really really is. tomforth.co.uk/whynorthengla…

Why North England is poor.

And why Thatcher is partly to blame, but not in the way most people argue.

& this reflects the hopelessly regressive nature of council tax (now over 50% of councils' income) as a means of funding #socialcare. Addressing council funding reform is surely central to the reform of adult social care. 3/3
