We now know what levelling up is – George Osborne plus New Labour 2 February 2022 Commenting on the Government’s Levelling Up White Paper published today (Wednesday), Torsten Bell, Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation, said: “We now know what levelling up is – George Osborne plus New Labour. The White Paper is all about combining the devolution of the former Conservative Chancellor, with the bigger and more activist state focused on deprived areas of the last Labour government. “There is a strong case for both. Whether they can be delivered very much remains to be seen.”
