“The economy, stupid”

[Richard]

Boris is now prepared to unleash major capital projects that will stimulate the U.K. economy.
The sterling rate on international markets has recently risen as a direct result.
That may be all well and good but now flood-damaged communities, starved of funding on a scale sufficient to remedy the damage, have to rely on Army help and may never recover on their relatively small scale.
The same goes for many communities in the North, as elsewhere, the money is never available for impoverished communities.
Shades of TTIP and CETA, all that seemingly matters is big business prospers whilst the small communities are left stranded (or flooded), as the case may be.
