@Hosieryhangeruk Clearly a southerner speaking 🤣

[Katherine Forster @forster_k]

Where exactly is “The North”? A Yorkshire woman (me) & guy born in Liverpool (@christopherhope) weigh in on this, plus geographical inequality, whether devolution works, & ponder how long Andy Burnham will sport T shirts in Manchester and suits and tie in Westminster.

“We can anticipate some idea of vision, some idea of hope” from Andy Burnham, polling guru Sir John Curtice tells @MartinDaubney @GBNEWS. Says whether a “Burnham bounce” is real will only become clear after Burnham has been in No 10 for a while and people have got to know him. Says at the moment Labour rising likely because Starmer going.

‘The Prime Minister is adamant he is leaving the country in a better place than he found it.’

GB News Chief Political Correspondent Katherine Forster says she was struck by the united government front ahead of the unveiling of the Defence Investment Plan.

£15 billion extra for defence means some road and energy projects will be scrapped, PM admits

[Katherine Forster @forster_k]

“NATO is more vital than ever”, PM insists, “We must stand more firmly on our own two feet”. But by 2030, UK will be spending 2.69% GDP on defence. while over half NATO allies will be spending 3% plus. Germany 3.7%, Sweden 3.5%. Poland at 4.8% already.

[Katherine Forster @forster_k]

“Credit goes to the PM”, Dan Jarvis begins, clearly trying to repair some of damage done by John Healey & Al Carns’s resignations over the DIP

[Katherine Forster @forster_k]

Waiting for the PM to unveil the Defence Investment Plan. Finally. When Sir Keir Starmer went to Glasgow last June to trumpet the Strategic Defence Review, the DIP outlining how it would be paid for was supposedly published that autumn

The UK is the most geographically unequal large economy in the industrialised world (OECD). Good surely this is finally getting more focus.....
