Difference is, we haven't got a parliament to look out for us. Or the Barnett formula to help.
Scotland might have the same population as the N of England but it has 60% of the landmass of the whole of England
I live in the north of England. London hates us because we've no real jobs since thatcher destroyed our industry. And the other home nations hate us because we're still English. Worst of both worlds.
Europe helped us... but then some dumbasses voted Brexit & ruined that too. 🙁

In the 80s thatcher and her backers decided that financial services were the only sector worth any thought.
Comparisons of spend between regions is like 2 bald men fighting over a comb
I have also heard it said here that England is blessed by god & cursed by London.
The regions were to provide scapegoats, and nothing more
