£140bn transport blow for North in 'decade of deceit'

- BY DAVE BURKE Political Correspondent

THE North of England would have had an extra £140billion of transport cash had it been treated the same as London under the Tories, figures show.

Damning new analysis today reveals the government spent £1,183 per person in the capital from 2010 to 2023 - but just £486 in the North.

And it was worse in the East Midlands, where the figure was £355.
