The Conservative Party’s promise to level up the UK played a significant role in their electoral victory. However, the long-awaited white paper on the subject has left Telegraph columnist and co-host of our Planet Normal podcast, Liam Halligan, disappointed.
In this week’s episode, which you can listen to using the audio player above, Halligan expresses his belief that the Conservatives’ announcement of twelve principle targets to address the country’s significant regional wealth imbalances falls short. According to him, “levelling up” remains a mere slogan without well-thought-out policy proposals and adequate funding that can be implemented before the next election.
Tune in to the podcast to discover Halligan’s full perspective on the matter.
Additionally, Allison Pearson shares her decision to no longer defend her former colleague Boris Johnson and expresses her dismay over events in the House of Commons this week.
Furthermore, Dr. Steve James, the NHS doctor who gained popularity for confronting Sajid Javid about mandatory vaccines for health workers, joins the podcast to celebrate the Government’s U-turn on “jabs for jobs.”
