I discuss the choices and dilemmas the government faces in launching its ‘levelling up’ White Paper on its signature policy: badly delayed and due early this year. The key choice is whether to prioritise left-behind people or places. The government seems primarily concerned with the latter and, within the latter, towns rather than cities.
Sir Vince Cable is the former leader of the Liberal Democrats and served as secretary of state for business, innovation and skills from 2010 to 2015. He records a regular podcast ‘Cable Comments’, expanding on the themes from this column.
