The term 'community wealth' and ' #communitywealthbuilding ' is increasingly being used in many places across the world. Including USA, Canada, Scotland and South Korea. Reflecting real policy and practical action. Sadly the term seems to be now less common in England.
When a politician uses the term ' #levellingup ' they are invoking the election slogan of Boris Johnson. Which was a lie, had little substance and has no credibility.
#levellingup as a term is an election slogan smoke screen. Increasingly toxic. Those that use it are buying into a lie. Serious policy and intent to rebalance UK economy would see politicians pursuing 'economic justice' with (pre)redistribution of wealth, investment, opportunity
The evidence in #PostOfficeInquiry is stacking up to indicate there was an intentional policy of serial deceit within PO over a number of years. Government Ministers responsible for PO also need to come into frame. It was under their watch.
Rachel Reeves declared Labour will be “the most pro-business government this country has ever seen”
For i newspaper I look into the substance of that claim - and the dangers of making it reality ... inews.co.uk/opinion/rachel…
#levellingup is a failure. No surprise. What is shocking are the commentators, academics and think tanks who took LU seriously. There was never ever any prospect that an election slogan and some regeneration monies was going to rebalance UK economy.
