Tories outside of London clearly concerned how a paycut (or small pay rises) in the North would be perceived by voters.
The principle is sound. That’s why you don’t get London Weighting outside of London.

We all know that shopping is cheaper in some areas than others, so it makes sense that wages reflect that.

In the face of evidence, her plan is falling apart. But I doubt that will prevent her being PM.
In other words, she listened to the reaction and decided to heed what people were saying. That’s good, isn’t it?
