We produce little now in the UK its all been sold to foreign unfriendly nations. Britain is open for business they used to say...open for sale was what happened.
That's exactly what the shopkeeper's daughter Thatcher did. She sold Britain's future.
Thatcher virtually shut down all of our manufacturing industry overnight, very shorty after she came into power in 1979.

We can do things other than produce real items. We can produce online products (software), there's plenty of scope to get the economy going with services (education), finance (we need to tax The City, for once).
We do need to invest in our provinces, but we need to redistribute wealth from the super-rich to us first and foremost. That will grease the cogs of the economy.
@@Ghengiskhansmum and Labour didn't reverse it?
These fools are asking whether the Government wants to level up the north. Just open your eyes and you’ll have your answer. No need to discuss it
No need for insults you look sad
@@TimComley cry more
The desolation and neglect of this country is visible everywhere - filth and rubbish strewn streets and crumbling roads and buildings are the normal sights for the majority of the public.
The tories have so much to answer for but never will.
This is what we always get when some people vote for the con party
Not only the roads has anyone looked at the state of the pavements, it's amazing that people have not been suing for falls due to holes in the pavement.

@@garyc7464 I'll finish that sentence for you. Labour hasn't been in power since 2010. And things were as a matter of fact much better under the last Labour government from 1997 up until 2010 than they are now after 14 yrs of tory government. I've have just given you the facts, not my or anyone else's opinion, real facts
More conservative hot air!
People of the north don’t be taken in again!!
He's correct that Thatcher decimated British industry, and turned the country into a service economy instead of investing in projects and partnerships that would transform the country for the good , subsequent governments have done little to turn that around, then came the greatest act of self harm pushed by people who quite frankly need investigating.
Rod. Rod. You were almost a keeper of the Boris ‘stool’. People should read your ST column to find out how you really think.
Rod Liddle making sense! Wasn't expecting that!!
Serves you right for believing a serial liar, and being extremely naive.
Don't believe a tory ever again.
I don't believe politicians.
As one who lives in Gloucestershire, I think York should be made the capital of England.
As for London, a large wall should be built around it.
My job involves researching British companines. I tire of reading about British Businesses being sold to foreign competitors, who after 3,4,5, years of ownership decide it's better to just close the business down and move manufaturing to the home of the parent company (very patriotic of them !) - main reason cited is usually cost of production - by which they mean Taxes, Energy and Tariffs. Seems that for 25 years, money is always available for foreign wars and interests, but not to support UK INDUSTRY. As an aside ; ever noticed that when in Spain, France, Germany, Italy or Sweden, the vehicles used by the Public Sector are Spanish, French, German, Italian and Swedish. Here our Police Cars, Ambulances and Council Vehicles are usually French, German, Italisn or Sweedish !?!?!? For 25 years, we could have demanded that the Public Sector buy vehicles actually made here (or at least a UK brand) - but that is too much like 'protectionism' for the Tories and Labour lot.
All lies from tories..
You can see the anger and frustration in Fiona Bruce’s face when anyone dares to go against her precious tories, she is completely biased and should never present this program
Er….😴 she’s a Huge Lefty! Hardly a Tory? More like Liberal.
@@a.d.c.1056 No she's tory through and through
@@a.d.c.1056Her husband is a Tory part donor ya muppet lol!!!. The BBC are Tory backers ffs!!!.
So good. I'm hoping that this is the general election that brings the SDP enough publicity that voters will be forced to question their tribal voting instincts and start looking at what each party actually stands for. Building a stronger and fairer country is better for us than bribing us with tax cuts before an election or promising massive spending without changing the problems this country has had for a long time. Too far to the right or too far to the left does not represent the majority of people in this country or allow us the freedom to plan and work for the lives we choose.
Shame he didn't mention the SDP once

We have had 25 years of liberalism. Time for a change but can it be done?
neoliberalism since thatcher you mean. big difference. neoliberalism means socialism for the banks and wealthy. paid for by the rest of us.
liberalism is about not being a twat.
Things were in fact much better under the last Labour government from 1997 up until 2010. Funding for all of our public services including the NHS was at record highs in real terms adjusted for inflation. Average wages went up by 25.7% in real terms adjusted for inflation for the whole period from 1997 up until 2010. But since 2010 under the tories average wages again in real terms adjusted for inflation went down by minus 2.5% for the whole period up until 2019, and since 2019 that figure will have gotten a lot worse thanks to the cost of living crisis, inflation surging out of control thanks to our con-servative government
Funny how Liddle thought it was marvellous when Johnson illegally shut Parliament to get things done.
Has Liddle had a revelation? He has also made a few negative Brexit comments recently.
yup. hes a tory fanboy, but i guess he can see opinion change so it backtracking...
Dammit, this guy is good! Thank God he's on the team.
UK' miserable situation has been driven by decades of low private and public investment levels, a historical focus on cost-cutting over capacity building, and a total lack of infrastructure upgrades.
The UK government has repeatedly mismanaged its own economy through prolonged austerity measures, inaccurate inflation and interest rate handling, which has exacerbated slow growth rates, minimal real wage growth, and a significant increase in public debt.
This is the same guy who supported Brexit which has cost the country dear. Now he wants investors to invest in the UK when we have withdrawn from the richest single market right on our doorstep. Those investors he is talking about never get as far as Dover they invest in mainland Europe.
This man speaks the truth and sense 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️
The industries of the north were not built by central government, but enterprising clever MEN. But then, Britain was a sovereign nation and people took pride in contributing to their nation as well as building their own future.
They also had an Empire and treated the native populace like shit!
Hopefully that money should be roll over and be ear marked for the next government.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He’s putting the accent on
Good way to start the day with visions of an uplifted and prosperous North.
He's right about that. Johnson would say one thing on one day, to get some good headlines in the papers, then totally forget about it the day after. But that's what happens when you have a TV game show personality as a Prime Minister.
THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR BORIS THE LIAR.
Without going back and checking Liddle's column, I'm sure he was cheering Johnson on.
If you want to see what real ‘levelling up’ looks like, look to Germany. They’ve been doing it since the early 90s. They’ve spent trillions on the project and are still pouring money in. I was over in the old DDR in 1990 and saw the start of levelling up taking place. In the city of Erfurt there were British BT vans shooting about. Why? Because the Federal government had hired spare telecoms capacity from other EU states to get the DDR telecommunications system up to Western standards as quickly as possible as possible. On frequent visits back to the unified Germany I saw project after project like this. Does anyone think that any of the big 2 UK parties would launch or fund such schemes?
Ah.. Rob Liddle, the man who often writes from his California home about the importance of people being in their workplace.
he lives in the North of England. What are you talking about?
All this started with Thatcher !
Do Northerners really want southern levels of house prices?
Rod.
When are you starting your 6 months of poverty
What's the muscle with trains built in Czechoslovakia in 1953 I think they are great
The bureaucracy wraped around accessing this money is as big a problem as the political will.
As long as the money goes to their family contracts.
Levelling up belongs in the same book as Brexit
JACKANORY!!
SDP are you still standing candidates for the UK general election this year? I REALLY want to vote for you, but am worrying we won't get a candidate in my constituency since have not seen one announced yet. Please respond as believe in your mission and the wider electorate need to see more of you in further constituencies!
What tubbish the northgets far mor funding than south westEngland.
It’s ‘neither … nor.. Or ‘either ..or’
Rod used to be very right wing , he seems to have changed.
hes going with the wind now he realises his game is up
He's still right wing, he's just got a lot of wind now I think its just hot air
He's never been right wing on economics. He's always favoured the kind of economic policies advocated by the moderate left of the old Labour Party; the kind of policies advocated by people like Peter Shore and Bryan Gould.
Rod Liddell isn’t a Teessider he is a turncoat
The same guy who said depression has nothing to do with poverty what a clown 🤡
Africans aren’t depressed.
@@SpeedfreakUK I’ve been to Africa I beg to differ.
I was gobsmacked at that one fromm Rod Liddel,that is a massive part of mental health,no money for food ,heating and other necessities.What a fool of a man.
@@SpeedfreakUK😂 doyle
Rod Liddle? wasn't he just a hack journalist working for the red tops?
You must be thinking of James O'Brien
First column I turn to in The Sunday Times each week.
@@patricklight9601 do you rim mudoch with any other of your purchases?
I like to keep myself informed. That is what I am doing watching this SDP stuff to be honest. I assume you are a supporter, Mr Nunable.
@@patricklight9601 I'm not a supporter, Rod is just another tory. He's trying to be clever to fool the gullible people, the same gullible people who voted for the con party in the first place
You know that Rod Liddle wrote about his desire for under age fiddling dont'cha?
I take it this is a tory channel, who let rod on question time, he's clearly a tory fan boy. He's clearly trying to blame everything on Labour and bojo johnson, what a joke
what has he said that is factually incorrect?
@@joycegibbs5267 He said Labour was to blame for the state of our country and johnson. But the tories have been in power since 2010, not the Labour Party and this didn't just happen since 2019, things have been going downhill since 2010 when the tories took back control of our country
tory company picks QT audience and bruce the host is married to a tory. but its all impartial honest ;) /s
THE BRITISH BREXIT VOTERS.
NOW COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT THEY VOTED FOR.
THEY MAKE ME THROW UP.
Vote Reform!
my commiserations on your severe head trauma, hope you recover soon.
the language 'levelling up' has always been funny to me......
its a computer game analogy but used with ignorance..... every gamer knows full well, levelling up comes at the cost of an arduous grind
