Ministers accused of ignoring pleas from northern England for three months – only agreeing to help once capital entered tier 2

The government has been accused of London-centric decision-making as the chancellor looked set to help businesses suffering under Covid restrictions less than a week after a ban on household mixing came into force in the capital – after ignoring similar pleas from much of the north of England for almost three months.

Poor old Boris, he still thinks he is Lord Mayor of London, where he openly bragged he attracted more billionaires than any other city. He runs the place on behalf of the ultrarich, and none of them live in Birmingham or Liverpool or Cardiff

Bails out every national travel operator unconditionally EXCEPT TfL, obviously 'London Centric'. Bullshit, this kind of region-baiting is what they are after.

No!?!?

I am shocked and appalled.

and johnson is a moron

Why does the government always get the blame for all these selfish pieces of crap?

Government Londoncetric about EVERYTHING!

Feel sorry for the gullible people up and down the country who thought this lot were intending to represent them when they campaigned for support during the GE. Didn’t take long for them to show their gratitude, did it?

Is it me or is Rishi starting to morph into Gove in that picture?

Now most of UK is in Tier 2, money is found. TAWDRY SCUM SLIME.

And in other news, the sky is blue

If the shoe fits...

Disappointing

It’s not just Covid it’s everything

Where is human rights? Freedom and democracy?

I would tweet but I’ve fallen off my stool in complete shock.

How long was Sherlock working on that case?

Bail out TFL!

No surprise there then.
