It is always interesting to learn precisely what government means when it uses jargon.

Last week we learned what the Conservative Party means by ‘levelling up’.

Michael Gove has been asked to explain why his department approved an award of £330,000 to fund pothole repairs on the driveway of a former Tory peer.

The public money was spent fixing a track leading to Charleston Farmhouse, an independently-run museum and art gallery within the grounds of a country estate owned by the 87-year-old aristocrat Lord Gage.

I’m all for a bit of ‘levelling up’. The patio on which my barbecue stands is a bit rickety and when I cook sausages they tend to roll off.

I wonder if Bob Seely, defender of the great British banger, could ask Mr Gove for a few quid from the public purse so I can level up?
