The Guardian view on deprived neighbourhoods: incomes as well as places need a boost | Editorial

Ugh, Blackpool and Middlesbrough again 🙄. It's like they're trying out for some kind of poverty Olympics. Can't the government just pick a different sport? And £20m for youth clubs is cute, but let's not forget that actual funding doesn't trickle down like magic ✨.

I mean, it's great that Labour's got a plan (Pride in Place), but we need more than just a Band-Aid. We need a serious overhaul of the system to address poverty and lack of opportunities. And can we please focus on affordable housing? It's like they're trying to create a never-ending cycle of poverty 🏥.

I'm all for levelling up, but it needs to be more than just a buzzword. We need concrete changes that actually help people, not just a fancy PR campaign 💸.
