Great to see MPs from across the political spectrum, including @kevinhollinrake & @JudithCummins, united in their support for Northern Powerhouse Rail in Bradford city centre.

"The key to this is the agglomeration effect as economists call it, critical mass, that's what we need, it brings 10 million people together in exactly the way London has 10 million people together, highly connected and ensures the economic opportunity, based upon that."

[Northern Powerhouse APPG @NPAPPG]

"The economic gap between London and the south-east and the north-east, in relative terms, is as great as it was between East Germany and West Germany prior to reunification. It took 30 years to narrow that gap."

@kevinhollinrake on the scale of the levelling up challenge.

[Kevin Hollinrake MP @kevinhollinrake]

The scale of ambition on levelling up is absolutely right, but the challenge is also huge.

Yesterday I asked the Chancellor if he agrees that it will take more than one Parliament to truly to level up this country?

[Northern Powerhouse APPG @NPAPPG]

Our Chair @kevinhollinrake makes the case for why the new terminal at @LBIAirport is essential to West Yorkshire's economy.

[Kevin Hollinrake MP @kevinhollinrake]

Yesterday I spoke in the budget debate which will boost business and the North.

The news about Treasury North, the UK Investment Bank in Leeds and a freeport in Teeside shows the Government really means business about levelling up and will provide benefits for the whole region.

[Northern Powerhouse APPG @NPAPPG]

"Would the Prime Minister agree that if we are to rebalance the economy, level up the country, we need a modern day, proactive regional economic policy?"

Our APPG chair @John4Carlisle speaking at #PMQs this morning.

[Sir Jake Berry @JakeBerry]

Shops in the North are paying SEVEN times as much in business rates as a proportion of profits than in the South.

Conservative MPs from the Northern Research Group today calling on @RishiSunak to extend Business Rate Relief and reform rates in order to 'level-up' the North.

[The Northern Powerhouse Partnership @NP_Partnership]

Brilliant news for Liverpool and the whole of the North that @Everton new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock has been approved.

"Much of the recent economic success in Leeds has been based on the promise of HS2 coming to our city. Pulling the plug now would see confidence here take a big hit."

@hilarybennmp on why levelling up cannot be delivered without #HS2 Eastern Leg.

[The Northern Powerhouse Partnership @NP_Partnership]

"The Prime Minister has made repeated promises to the people the North East of his intention to level up and to connect and create opportunities for people here, in places like Gateshead."

@IanMearnsMP calls for commitment from @BorisJohnson to delivering the Eastern Leg of #HS2

[The Northern Powerhouse Partnership @NP_Partnership]

More worrying evidence of the impact of the digital divide on children from @TeachFirst.

This is why schemes such as @laptopsforkids & #Cash4Connect are crucial.

Today, nearly 120 business leaders- from SMEs to FTSE 100 companies- have written to the PM from the Connecting Britain campaign demanding the full delivery of the Eastern leg of #HS2.

@GeorgeFreemanMP @NPAPPG @CapX Don’t think #Hyperloop is the answer George but #UnionConnectivityReview must rightly address links between #Edinburgh and #Newcastle, as #NorthernPowerhouseRail #HS2 will connect North East to rest of #North, #Midlands and #London @NP_Partnership

[George Freeman FRSA MP @MPGeorgeFreeman]

Connectivity is key to Community.

Can better connectivity between Scotland & the North of England strengthen both

- the UK economy?

- the Union?

We know that school closures have had a huge impact on all children.

But children in the North were already facing bigger barriers to their education - whether that was due to higher levels of disadvantage or a disproportionate impact from the #digitaldivide.

#Cash4Connect

[Northern Powerhouse APPG @NPAPPG]

Northern MPs are pushing the government for clarity over #HS2, in light of fears that it could be downgraded - despite the Prime Minster promising it would be delivered in February.

[Daniel Cochlin @DanielCochlin]

HS2 Minister @Andrew4Pendle says government "are committed to building HS2 Phase 2b" in response to Calder Valley MP @CWhittaker_MP asking if rumours of Eastern leg being scrapped are true, and how this would fit in with government's commitment to improving rail in the North
