Morrison J (2022) Wow! The Tories are planning to 'level up' Britain again. It means almost nothing. novaramedia.com [Blog post] 21.11.2022. https://novaramedia.com/2022/11/21/hang-on-who-actually-are-left-behinds-rishi-sunak-wants-to-level-up/

Abstract
First paragraph: Prime ministers rise, prime ministers fall – and the mood music shifts again. After the slow-motion car crash of the Liz Truss premiership, almost any change of Downing Street personnel was bound to feel like sweet relief. Now, with Rishi Sunak’s restoration of Michael Gove to the ‘levelling up’ brief and Arts Council England appropriating this language to relocate 24 London-based arts organisations to the regions, the symbolism is clear: rhetorical concerns about reviving ‘left-behind’ areas are back in vogue.
