And whilst the Northern Powerhouse initiative is starting to make a difference, there's a long way to go.

What too many Powerhouse protagonists seem to forget is that systemic problems need systemic solutions.
Dollops of cash here and there, new strategies, well-meaning initiatives and great soundbites are precisely the reason why decades of ‘regional policy’ have failed the North.
It is difficult to underestimate just how much austerity has eaten away at the fabric of the public services on which all depend – rich and poor.
And egregious disparities in public spending between North and South – whether on transport infrastructure, housing or education – not only deflate the present but store up long-term problems that will drag down productivity for decades to come.

It's good for the whole country if the wealth is spread around - then there are fewer complaints about subsiding the North.
