. @trussliz is right - we do have a productivity problem. However, that's due to over-centralised government and chronic underinvestment in connectivity, education, skills, innovation rather than "mindset and attitude". Our recent analysis 👇

The Northern Powerhouse has a “distinct economic vision” that is completely unique, says @George_Osborne There is a cluster of Northern cities sufficiently close to each other that - collectively - they can act as a global player. #NRG2023

@AndyBurnhamGM says government must deliver on its commitments to better connect our great northern cities, as was promised in @George_Osborne 's original Northern Powerhouse vision. That means a new rail line Liverpool, Manchester - critically through Bradford - and onto Leeds.

Levelling up will not happen without the full delivery of Northern Powerhouse Rail and HS2. Delay is costing the North and Midlands billions.

HS2 extension to Leeds 'will be scrapped to save £40bn', reports say

Several leaks from Whitehall this summer have suggested plans to extend the HS2 to Leeds will be scrapped - despite the northern city having already started work on a £500million station.
