Blackpool – Kicking the Poorest People into the Gutter
Improving the lives of people "entrenched in poverty" would be praiseworthy if this project did that but gentrification removes poverty from an area by forceable displacement of the current poverty stricken residents. 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/

Yeah, they should stop it by investing more in other cities (infrastructure, public transport, housing, arts, local govt, etc), and moving more government institutions out of London to these cities. They could call it #LevellingUp perhaps. (Disclaimer: didn’t read the paywalled article, just reacting to the headline).

As I might end up having a gap between projects, I wonder what I should invest that into (had plenty of holidays this year already).
- Learn something new? Thinking of native mobile development (Swift) or a new back-end language? (Elixir, Haskell).
- Level up my LLM assisted coding skills?
- Build a tiny SaaS? (Have an idea, never build one)
- Learn/improve non-software skills? (Working with wood, gardening, bread making, cooking, finance) -
👍 Don't miss what's set to be a great workshop hosted by Population Europe, Mapineq and Connecting Generations on 29 April.
Hear from fantastic speakers - including CPC-CG member Bernice Kuang - as they explore practical examples and strategies for addressing local challenges to better support #families in the UK.

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

#Councils demand independent review of ‘arbitrary’ #LevellingUp schemes
#BorisJohnson’s 2019 policy faces accusation of being #politicised and failing to tackle skills shortages

Evidence & analysis (should you need it) that Levelling Up was a harebrained scheme, badly managed & more about Tory declaratory politics than actual change in the ground.
Its got it all: incompetence, in-fighting between departments, corrosive bidding processes, unclear objectives, and corruption in its targeting...
So, in a strange way it is the Tory's flagship policy, just now how BoJo intended it...

'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”.'

On the BBC radio it had a statement from a Tory who said they had worked for YEARS on getting 'Levelling Up' out there.
They really are incapable of anything but grifting, aren't they?https://bylinetimes.com/2024/03/15/levelling-up-90-of-promised-schemes-are-nowhere-near-completion/

My utter lack of surprise that the Tories' cringeworthy "Levelling Up" scheme hasn't delivered and is a big fucking mess.
Who honestly believed them on this and do they want to buy some crypto? -
Its official: Levelling Up was just vacuous bullish*t...
The Public Accounts Committee finds little in the way of actual levelling up & lost of bureaucratic nonsense, delay & wasted effort.
Will anyone here be surprised... I doubt it!

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
