I say we move important institutions from London to different northern cities, then open offshoots of them in London with the word "south" appended to them. Something like "Opera South" , just so they can get a taste of the real thing.

Many congratulations to @cllrjudithblake on being appointed a Life Peer. Great to see a local government leaders with a track record of significant achievement being recognised nationally. As well as being a very good politician, she is a thoroughly nice person too.

Great news. Imagine how much more successful #Leeds and #Sheffield could be, and how much more they could contribute to national growth, if they had a fast rail link between them. 1/2
