I must admit, I would quite like to know what levelling-up means too but don't want to go off-topic. Conservative MPs would like to know too. I suspect it's probably akin to Theresa May's definition of Brexit at the moment.
The opinion polls are up and down all the time, but elections make people think more about what they are doing. This current Westminster episode will be as good as forgotten by then anyway.

The Opposition has the opportunity of putting forward legislation for consideration in the Commons if they wanted to, Andrew, so they don’t simply have a passive role.

As for ‘levelling up’, I am surprised that anyone should not know what that means on either side of the House.
