Zoë Billingham(@zoe_billingham):As a former Treasury official I’ve seen the lasting grip of austerity in the department since 2010 & false hope that cuts have no consequence. To regionally reboot our economy it’s quite right that the PM wants to focus on growth & opportunity out of Whitehall & from No10 North.
