Today we lay bare a decade of broken promises as we reveal how the disparity in transport spending between the North & London has ballooned If the North had seen the same transport investment as London under the previous government, it would have received £140bn more

Brilliant work from colleagues at @IPPRNorth! Particularly struck by large inequalities in mental health incidence and access to services between the North of England and other parts of the country. Do give it a read 👇
