Sooner or later lies catch up with you. Obviously the Brexit dividend is being used to level up so that we can use the oven-ready deal and world-beating outcomes to reach the sunny uplands.
Funny how those sunny uplands have kept coming for the top end while the dismal, dreary depths are good enough for us!!
Could it be that the Tory Party, who were formed to look after the interests of the wealthy, have been looking after their own at the expense of everyone else? Surely not?
Let’s put a windfall tax on all the profiteering millionaires for have made a fortune out of Covid and Brexit.
Let’s block the tax loopholes so people like Rees-Mogg can’t stuff millions into the Cayman Islands and avoid tax!!
Let’s give tax cuts and a big chunk of cash to all those on benefits and low wages!
That’s a start!!
Levelling up is the latest distraction geared to take our minds off Johnson’s lies.
The trouble with Levelling Up is that it’s another lie!! They have put Gove in charge and there is a lot of words (no new ones), a lot of hot air. What there isn’t is any money!! Without money nothing will happen. It’s all lies!!
We are not just talking about the massive inequality that applies to the North and South. We are talking about the inequality between poor and rich, between black and white, between male and female, between privilege and the rest of us……
We have a society that is more unequal than it’s ever been!! That’s just how the overprivileged, wealthy Tories like it! To maintain this inequality was the reason the Tories were created in the first place!!
A couple of letters from yesterday’s Guardian…
‘The levelling up that’s needed is not just regional – it’s about building a fairer society in the whole of this wealthy country.
It means children from state schools having the same opportunities as those from private schools, and families from Cornwall to Norfolk, Newcastle to Bristol and Stoke being able to afford decent homes. It means no one having to choose between heating and eating, while for others the choice is which of their houses shall they spend this weekend in and in which car shall they travel to it.
It means taxing the rich, closing tax loopholes, giving contracts to the best rather than the best friends, and using a proper proportion of the nation’s wealth for those whose needs are greatest. It will never happen under a Conservative government.’

‘Looking forward so much to our levelling up – to the day when every British citizen can afford to send their child to Eton.’

Bluff back Better. Everything is great! Brexit Britain is Global Britain! Just say it and it’ll be true!! Just like all those other sounbites – world-beating T&T, Oven-Ready Brexit, Trade Deald done and dusted.
Johnson’s good on optimistic bollocks – it’s doing things that he falls down on.
Levelling up for Christmas with benefit cuts, tax hikes and no turkeys – best of luck!
Tory Britain only works for the wealthy!!
Thanks John Peachey and Chris Riddell.
