Morning all.
Re: Friday 16th July 2021
I think this is the point about 'levelling-up', which hasn't been picked up widely yet*.
Most of the stuff Johnson talked about yesterday was stuff that councils used to do, when they had any money. Now we have to have a mish-mash of mayors/ad hoc boards with varying powers to deliver it. Why?

Snouts in the trough.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/202 ... -up-schemeLabour has raised concerns about the management of a flagship levelling up scheme after it emerged that decisions about one local £24m fund were primarily led by a group including the local MP, her husband, and others with personal or business links to some of the plans.
Documents also show that the towns fund board for Stocksbridge in South Yorkshire, co-chaired by Conservative MP Miriam Cates, met for eight months before members began filing details of personal interests, and that the scheme of governance was only published after more than a year.

Anyone else wondering if Hancock was stitched up by someone in No 10 or the 'CRG' for just this purpose?

FWIW a lot of speculation is that the motivation was more "personal".

Speculation that GB "News" now wants to go Total Trump, but even our toothless broadcast regulators might have something to say about that.
