The Tory peer who accused Yorkshire of begging for handouts got a very special love letter from the Yorkshire Post

There’s been no shortage of criticism of the government’s so-called levelling-up agenda, which appears to have promised very little other than the possibility of finally delivering some of the money that didn’t materialise after previous promises.

The plans have failed to address the needs of, well, pretty much anyone, actually – but rural areas continue to see serious neglect. This was highlighted by The Yorkshire Post.

Tory peer Lord Moylan didn’t take kindly to criticism of the plan, and he said the quiet parts out loud.

His slur got exactly the reaction you’d expect.
