Seven years after Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron promised “We’re all in this together”, the only two regions of the UK that have gained are London and the South East. The UK’s 10 other regions are poorer, and some are now the poorest in Northern Europe.
The sick man of Europe
No one wants this label. Originating in the 19th century, it is applied to a European country enduring economic instability and poverty. Despite media reports that Britain’s inequality gap is closing, a range of economic reports from the last few years suggest that Britain is the sick man of Europe. And the responsibility rests with the ideological austerity programme pursued by successive Conservative-led governments.
In 2014, the Inequality Briefing found that, of the 10 poorest areas in Northern Europe, all but one were in the UK.
