What’s behind the Tory rift on levelling up?

10 min listen

In This Episode

Rishi Sunak faces the fury of Red Wall MPs and other Tories today as he announced the distribution of the second round of the government’s levelling up fund. Of all the regions receiving money, the southeast will in fact receive the most (£210 million), while the government would rather point to the fact that, on a per capita basis, the North and Wales benefit more. Cindy Yu discusses with Katy Balls and James Heale.
