Apparently all of us outside of London need to work harder, absolute joke this shower, can’t even answer a simple question the lot of them, call a general election and get this lot out.

The thing is, productivity "is" a lot higher in London than elsewhere, aside from blatant electioneering, that's a key part of the levelling up thing. Unfortunately Truss is thick as mince so takes lower productivity as simply not working long enough or hard enough.

Yep. Very small sample size I know, but I've worked in Local Authorities in both the North and London. There are other factors as well, but the way I see it, productivity is higher in London not due to how hard people work (I ended up working longer hours and getting more stressed up north) but it's the total lack of resources.
LAs have taken a hit generally, but it's on another level compared to London. IT systems don't work properly, they're slow, admin down to the bare minimum and a lot fewer people doing the same job as me. If someone in admin goes off then that's it, it grinds to almost a halt. Then 30% of my time would be admin as opposed to nearer 10% in London.
My partner is in the NHS and again, from her experience and in her field, far fewer resources up north. I've never seen her so unhappy with work.
I ended up packing it in last year and moved to a private company in a different sector. This government just grind you into the ground and have absolutely no respect for public sector workers.
Just my experience anyway.
Will Liz Truss properly fund local services up north? Not a chance.
I've been doing quite a bit of research into this lately as part of a levelling up style project, and to massively simplify, productivity tends to be a result of the skills people have, how easy it is for them to work with other people with skills, and the capital they have to work with. This tends to work according to the agglomeration effect, therefore London does best because it's very big, then the likes of Manchester, Birmingham, Oxford/Cambridge, Edinburgh etc. do better than smaller towns, which in turn do better than rural areas. For instance, around half of adults in Brighton have a degree, but just 15% of adults in Doncaster. There's nothing to suggest people in the former work harder than those in the latter, but the chances are they will be more productive.
Solutions to this are pretty complex, but it's got naff all to do with how hard you work or how many hours you put in.
How can somebody as thick as her be in a possible position to affect everybody’s life . If she was twice as bright , she’d be a halfwit .
So it's not decided off average earning per head due to the concentration of bankers/financeers/economists etc in the toxic big smoke?
No, it measures what each worker manages to produce, both according to job and by each hour worked. The agglomeration effect does mean, however, that the concentration of financiers, scientists, academics, entrepreneurs, and whatnot does tend to make everyone more productive, both because they're able to work more effectively, but also the larger local population creates a larger market as well.

So shes comparing the premier league (the London competition) with the lower leagues (everywhere else). Sounds about right. I wonder how touring visas for musicians having many problems for euro entry and work has focused gigging and recording to the london tours...No, it measures what each worker manages to produce, both according to job and by each hour worked.

Pretty remarkable that she's managed to make an enemy of the NFU, who are traditionally to the Conservative Party as the NRA are to the Republicans in the US.
