Boris Johnson says his government will 'not go back to the austerity of 10 years ago'
that ministers will be"doubling down on levelling up" - spending on infrastructure in order to"build our way back to health".
Addressing reports that the PM wants to help areas previously affected by austerity, Mr Miliband replied:"There's a grand canyon between his rhetoric and the reality." But evidently keen to try and get his wider political agenda back on track, the prime minister is returning to the phrase that was so frequently used in last year's general election campaign -"levelling up".So, how will these big projects be paid for?
Almost nine million workers who are unable to do their job because of the pandemic have had their wages paid by the government under its furlough scheme.
