Traditionally, sure, but even while places like the Midlands and the North West have more manufacturing than the Southeast, the Southeast kept the more valuable stuff. The reshoring we're seeing as globalisation retreats is an opportunity, but I don't trust this government to make the best of it. And education is awesome, which of course is why we strictly limit building around our top university towns and cities.
