Visible to anyone in the world
I can't help but wonder what the government actually means by, 'Leveling Up'.
The government refer to making the UK a fairer society and having an understanding of challenges that some in society have and to 'Level Up' the inequalities.
How will this be possible when at every turn certain groups in society are being penalized sanctioned.
The idea that has been 'peddled' around has been, 'highly skilled and highly paid jobs.' but in what context is that going to be achievable? Why is that students maintenance grants are deducted from Universal Credit claims how does that benefit a student that is studying ? Why is that if you study part time you are classed as a full time student ? A maintenance grant assists for the time that you study therefore, a part time course will have a part time maintenance grant, yet unless you query this issue with the DWP, the part time grant is automatically divided into twelve months on the computer instead of the six months. How can that, kind of structure and strategy assist those in society who do not have the necessary means, and need support to be able to be educated to a higher standard ? Are you not limiting a great pool of talent ? Is that not creating divisions to benefit only certain groups? Where is the 'Levelling Up'
Right people right jobs ? Or as it appears any job will do approach!
In what way will the government be assisting business to 'Level Up' ? Funding and investment ?
How will that be spent ? Investing in people ? How much investment will the government pay out for businesses to retain staff in their current approach to society and employment ?
The Elections.
Are you not penalizing those under the guise of fraud to limit the capacity of certain social groups on their right to vote ? How is taking away the power from the Independent Electoral Commission, 'Levelling Up'?
HS2 How many towns and villages have been affected due to the indecisions made, how many have had to lose part or all of their homes and livelihoods only for the government to change their minds ?
There will always be winners and losers but who will be the people that will ultimately benefit from the governments ideas of 'Leveling Up'?
