LONDON: Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, on Thursday promised an investment to overcome inequality in several parts of the UK, establishing his vision for the “level” strategy, with a nod, he said it would not damage a more prosperous area.
Johnson, who won a big majority in 2019 by targeting the traditional opposition workers supporters in North and Central England, wanted to return to one of the main promises he made in the election to help “lagging” in the British region.
In a speech that touched crime, education, transportation, housing and green technology, Johnson raised prospects to move more power to the small areas of England to speed up Covid-19 pandemic.
But critics say there are some specifics about how he will “level up” which has been for decades feeling ignored by the government in a row, which often targets expenses in the South UK, outside the theme greater than investment.
“There is no intrinsic reason why one part of this country must be destined to decline or is indeed destined to succeed,” he said in a speech at the Industrialization Center of the British battery in the coventry city of Central England.
“Cities and cities that people say have been abandoned not lacking human intelligence …
what they need is the right person to believe in them to lead them and to invest in it and that is what we will do.” But In moving to a quiet concern in the conservative party that ruled that the government left the traditional voter support base in Southern England, Johnson also said he did not “want to go down”.
“Leveling up is not the operation of the spread of jam, it doesn’t rob Peter to pay Paul, it’s not a zero amount, it wins for the whole England.” Johnson said he could restore the focus on one of its flagship policies because, if carefully, England could be more than the worst pandemic of Covid-19 thanks to what he called the wall of vaccination.
The British economy was dominated by London and the Southeast Report and 2020 for the government found that the gap in the economic productivity between the capital and other English regions was covered in 1901.
Many governments have vowed, and failed, to bring more work and prosperity to the surrounding areas The former industrial city in North England, and Johnson said he wanted to see local leaders work harder to attract more investment to create jobs.
But outside the call to produce more raw materials for batteries in an electric car, critics say the plan has no detail.
When asked about the lack of detail, Johnson said he had presented a outline of what the government would do and then his Jreping said “gave a very clear explanation” from the strategy.
“Far from leveling up, explained Boris Johnson just prepared him when he left,” said Liberal Democratic leader Ed Davey.
“This route-tele speech does nothing for millions of people who work hard and play with rules but are still disappointed by this conservative government.”
