It was a ridiculous thing to say. Do I think he truly means it, probably not, but looks/sounds awful.
My understanding was that they’d ploughed cash into certain new red wall seats/deprived areas (like with Houchen in Tees valley) so not sure about his suggestion that he’s cut funding.
I saw it as a short clip, possibly lacking in context, of him trying to play to the crowd…badly ! But if he truly believes it’s right to cut funding in deprived areas, he’d be a c**t in my book
Yeah it’s a real problem with party leadership contests as we’re seeing with both parties. First go full bore mentalist to convince the loonies in the party then pivot to centrist for the public, leaving everyone pissed off with you.
