Chancellor's don't just make things up. But I suppose a claim from a Labour MP = fact while a claim from a Tory MP = lie, forever and always.
Why are you talking about the Sun, who has mentioned figures of theirs? You are the only one to have mentioned that paper in this thread. I have cited a government report, a Financial Times survey and a budget speech of the chancellor. None of this credible enough?

And where is Osbornes information from? You appear so suspicious of the 'Centre for Cities' report and yet take whatever the chancellor says as gospel that's why, I can't view the FT report I don't believe the government employment figures for a second.
There is reference to another FT report in the debate ( I quoted Plaids Johnathon Edwards not Labour earlier)
London
“is a giant suction machine draining the life out of the rest of the country.”
Yet the Government do precious little to rectify that. Only last month the Financial Times reported that the wealth gap between London and the nations and regions is set to widen. A professor at the London School of Economics has noted that London is the
“dark star of the economy, inexorably sucking in resources, people and energy.”
The north west may be having the fastest growth how that will benefit anyone at grass root level is debatable.
