Ed Balls has a little problem with basic maths
From today’s letters page in The Independent:
Ed Balls and Andrew Adonis complain that “Only a quarter of projects in the Government’s infrastructure pipeline are in the North-east, North-west or Yorkshire and the Humber”.
However, what they don’t mention is that these areas also contain around a quarter of the country’s population. So if Labour thinks those parts of the country should get a larger share of infrastructure than their share of the population, perhaps they could also tell us which areas they want to see getting a disproportionately lower share?
Yours,
Mark Pack
