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.

Presumably Osborne is citing the official treasury figures, choose to disbelieve them if you wish. I am hardly taking his word as gospel, I have no interest in cheerleading one side or the other.
