#levellingup as a term is an election slogan smoke screen. Increasingly toxic. Those that use it are buying into a lie. Serious policy and intent to rebalance UK economy would see politicians pursuing 'economic justice' with (pre)redistribution of wealth, investment, opportunity
#levellingup is a failure. No surprise. What is shocking are the commentators, academics and think tanks who took LU seriously. There was never ever any prospect that an election slogan and some regeneration monies was going to rebalance UK economy. ft.com/content/45c12c…

Having one of those "revising the column I'm writing almost in real time because a reasonable guess at the future just turned out to be completely wrong again" days.
🚨 The finance ministers of Germany, Brazil, Spain and South Africa have just come out in favour of: – A 2% wealth tax on global billionaires. – To raise $250bn annually. – It would apply to just 3,000 people. theguardian.com/inequality/202…
The idea that lots of people would relocate based purely on income tax rates was always nonsense. Good to see this backed up empirically HMRC
