Snooty means I look down on them.
My point was that the 'Labour' Party as presently constituted is the creature of big business and will service them before any (insipid) attempt is made to level up.

I'm curious what you think is the best approach to levelling up?

Without wanting to speak for dave, I think the history of the UK pretty clearly shows that the best way to improve people’s lot in that respect is to ensure they have access to easily affordable and decent housing (that they have some sort of investment in maintaining), access to quality healthcare and decent education (with the latter ensuring that all kids have access to education relevant to their abilities).
Give them that and, even with low wages, people will tend to better themselves.

The Labour Party could make a more convincing stab at levelling up if its leader carried out the promises he made to the Labour Party membership during his leadership campaign...policies all but ditched now: scraping tuition fees; £28B per year green investment - scrapped "until later in the first parliament under 'labour'"; raising income tax for the top 5% of earners - gone; nationalisation of utilities - renegade on; rent controls - ditched; universal free childcare - gone; scrapping two-child benefit cap - now ruled out.
Anyone voting for Labour can do that if they want...just dont try and lecture those of us who can see that they are merely a continuation of the last 13 years of Tory rule.

Sounds very straightforward. Why do you think regional inequality persists in so many countries around the world?

Time and time again the UK as a majority does not like sweeping change, we are by default a nation of small conservatives. The nearest we have ever come to equitable society were the years proceeding the end world war 2 1945 and the first chance they got the reeled in oral health for the Korean war in 1950. Any change left or centre left will have to be small incremental change.

At best because of misguided political decisions, but most of the time its because of deliberate political decisions.
A society where the vast majority of the population have a near equal stake and interest in it are not generally going to accept those in charge running up debt unnecessarily.
Whatever your feelings regarding the current Labour Party.
You, WE, can not allow these people in again.
Do it for this poor Mother.
My academic colleagues and I have spent the last few years looking at a number of "left behind" communities in England and France. I'd say your prognosis may not capture the complexities of life in such communities.
Interesting studies. Were you looking at any rural communities in France or is it all fairly urban centric.
They were all urban, and rural communities are undoubtedly sufficiently unique to have their own challenges. For what it's worth, the Labour bigwigs did a report recently with the Fabian Society. I'm not a big fan of their findings, but that is perhaps the direction they're going in.
