Good article but I’d say it’s been taken from the north to give to London. The Arundel bypass is a road project cancelled in the south east for the third time I think. The UK is London-centric.
The southwest isn’t as affluent as you think. Cornwall has some of the most deprived areas of the UK.

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about β€œtwo-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of β€œtwo-tier Keir”.

The man is a fraud.

Banter is like sex. It is a two way process based on mutual respect and understanding. If you're doing it on your own, what you are is a wanker
