Boris Johnson tries to reset premiership with 'levelling up' policies

Britain's government will set out its plan to "level up" the country on Wednesday as it tries to move on from the scandal of lockdown parties in Downing Street by turning to one of the big policy pledges that put Boris Johnson there in 2019.

It said it had identified 12 missions to shift focus and resources to Britain's "forgotten" communities by 2030, including what it said was the biggest shift of power from London to local leaders in modern times.
 

Other targets include bringing local public transport closer to London's standard, extending 5G and fibre broadband across the country
