There are well paid across the country.
Moving Parliament wouldn’t make any difference.
But you are right with Industrial strategy, we need good paying blue collar jobs, but the drive to net-zero, increase in employers N.I., the level of corporation tax, business rates and employee rights will prevent us from ever restarting an industrial base in this country.
BP have just announced job losses globally, and you can guarantee they’ll axe the most expensive ones right back………
Same goes for any global business with operations in the U.K., anything that can be moved elsewhere were Labour is cheaper…will be.
