Fair point. But I'd argue that the costs of extreme income inequality (and not delivering on the so-called levelling up promises) will be worse for you (and me) when she helps Tories sell off the rest of NHS (which is why she was appointed, I think), and when she continues to help reduce support for important socio-cultural institutions, and that taxes at the 4 figure level won't be significantly cut, if they're cut all. The taxt cuts will be for those paying 5 through 8 figures in taxes, while also using tax havens.

I agree, but the leveling up thing is nonsense. The towns who make nothing useful are now so far behind they are essentially getting bailed out by the productive parts of the uk.

They always moan about the south east but it's literally where everything is built.

I remember seeing a town saying they need leveling up because ballet dancers couldn't get jobs, and I'm like well so what??

There's 4 tiers of jobs.

Tier 1 is all the important stuff like food/building/clothing/medical supplies and machinery they need.

Tier 2 is things to make our lives easier, but not essential, like electricity, gas, supermarkets, washine machines, cars etc.

Tier 3 is completely redundant shit like youtubers, bloggers, television, movies, music, dance.

Tier 4 is god damn bankers, loan companies, insurance, lawyers, politicians. The REAL useless cunts that need all 3 tiers underneath fully functional to survive.

A country that is tier 1 heavy (for example 50% tier1, 40% tier2, 5% tier3, 5% tier4) is something like what you want.

What we have is some tier 4 top heavy bullshit, and it just needs a quick leg sweep to destroy it all.
