//Does anyone really know what “levelling up” in this context really means?//
It means "dumbing down". In an effort to make everybody equal there will be some winners and some losers. The losers will be those who already have the advantages/money/facilities or whatever it is that is being evenly distributed. I would have thought that a Tory government would know that you cannot make the poor richer by making the rich poorer. But that's exactly what "levelling up" will mean in this context.

Yep gull. A bit here and there won't be missed, or won't create to much of a stir. An x boss of mine from many moons ago who made a lot of money, once said to me, the public are generally naive, dangle a few carrots, make a few promises, and you have them in the bag. That's what all politicians do at election times and throughout their term in office, especially the cons. The carrots and promises just get bigger, and the public bigger fools.
It isa rebranding exercise.
Previously we had the Northern Powerhouse, dreamed up by George Osborne. Its mission was to even out the North/South divide by favouring investment in the North.
You don’t hear anything about it these days because it was an abject failure, as this new daft gimmick will be.

//So if Boris gives the less well of their £20 a week universal credit back.//
The trouble is, it's not theirs. It was a temporary increase to help UC recipients through the pandemic. Quite how they needed it whereas State Pensioners did not is a bit puzzling, but that's another question. Although the pandemic is not over, the effects that might have seen that £20 necessary are. Although it can never be said that £20 a week is not necessary, it is no longer justified.

Well the way Johnson is spending money like water I am begining to wonder if COB would have been much different in that department.
We now have a centre left party in power that is New Labour in all but name. With a load more Green Party stuff shoved in no doubt thanks to Princess Nut Nut.
I want my Party back, Johnson needs to go.

// Probably just like the "ministry of silly walks" Gully
that was based on a teaching video on 'gait' from the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases
Levellin up - the man from the ministry examines a body
say the Cabinet - and says - it works OK ish but it is too white and too oxbrdige and too PPE and no one can add - not even the Chancellor
