Westminster be warned – Britain’s future will be decided in the north. Get on the right side of that | Andy Burnham As political and business leaders meet for the Convention of the North, our position is clear: we need a genuine new deal, and soon, says Andy Burnham, mayor of Greater Manchester

Today @andyburnham.bsky.social makes a strong case for regeneration in the North or #England, but the #Midlands is important & often overlooked. #EMCCA needs to redress the long term lack of investment here!

East Midlands authority budget surges from £20 million to £160 million The East Midlands Combined County Authority has seen its budget skyrocket as a result of receiving Government grants

£226m to spend on capital projects across an area the size of Notts/Derbyshire 🤔 For context, the planning application for the Lower Thames Crossing has so far cost £297m.

Not a serious region.

Amount spent per head on rail projects in London is roughly £5000 per person.

By this calculation, the #emcca / region is owed roughly £11b on rail projects alone since 1990. When you see our devolution deal is worth £1.14b over 30 years, there does seem to be a problem.
