The council fails to clarify how the lives of the evicted are being improved. Hundreds of families in one of England’s poorest neighbourhoods will be evicted under a £90m plan described by critics as a “mass dispersion” of vulnerable people. 400 homes in Blackpool will […]https://activitypub.writeworks.uk/2026/01/blackpool-kicking-the-poorest-people-into-the-gutter/

Interesting that Lisa Nandy’s got the #DCMS brief, which suggests a continuing emphasis on #LevellingUp for #culture.

Farewell, #MichaelGove: from #Brexit to #LevellingUp, you sowed the seeds for this #Conservative crisis
The #Tory puppet master is leaving behind a febrile party flying ever further towards the fringes of our politics

'No compelling examples of what #LevellingUp has delivered, watchdog finds
#PublicAccountsCommittee report shows hardly any of 71 projects due to be completed this month are on track
Hillier said #Gove’s department appeared to have been “blinded by optimism” in funding projects that were “clearly anything but ‘shovel-ready’, at the expense of projects that could have made a real difference”.'

All #levellingUp was designed to deliver was more #toryMPs
It is a figleaf policy that replaces #EU regional support with smaller amounts, micro-managing the use of those funds from #whitehall putting those in less affluent areas into the role of #supplicant to a paternalistic central state which nakedly favours the electoral interests of the Conservative Party

The Tory #levellingup delusion, invented by #liar #Johnson & continued by his successors, completely demolished by #IPPR report. Compared with nation states the North would be second lowest in #OECD. http://bit.ly/3DdrjAa #SunakOut #RejoinEU #toryliars #StandWithUkraine

#LevellingUp Fund essentially dishonest, based on #bribery & not need, a #cynical attempt to help Tory MPs in red wall seats. It does nothing 2 address e.g. UK #productivity crisis, German & French workers produce 10% more than UK counterparts. #ToryLiars #SunaktheLiar #Fairness

Time for a quick #introduction. I’m a #Labour councillor for #GreatHarwood in #Hyndburn, #Lancashire and Shadow Member for #LevellingUp. Outside of that I work in #socialinvestment for a housing association, working with #community projects looking at issues such as #foodsecurity #employability , #mentalhealth , #digitalinclusion and #wellbeing. When I’m not doing any of that, I’m a #ukulele player, sometimes do a bit of acting, write #poetry and am writing my first play. Loving #Mastodon!
