Let's say you wanted to compare spending over the past 12 years by region/nation of the UK on detailed things like "railway" and "local public transport". We built a tool @ODILeeds to let you do that. open-innovations.org/projects/jrf/u…
@ODILeeds All open source code for the analysis. All open data for the data. Lets you make graphs like this. Does all the "yes but per capita" and "yes but inflation" and "yes but what about current spending vs. capital spending" that people will demand that you do. open-innovations.org/projects/jrf/u…
@ODILeeds If you're happy with less detail, you can have twenty years of data. open-innovations.org/projects/jrf/u…
@ODILeeds Maybe you're the type of person that says "but Tom, that's not a fair comparison, you're comparing a city, London, with a region, Yorkshire"? Well I have great news for you, so many of you asked those questions that we built up special comparable regions! open-innovations.org/projects/jrf/u…
As I mention often, but still get screamed at and get accused of being virulently anti-London and divisive, The types of spending where more happens in the South East are very rare. Mostly, we spend the same per person everywhere. open-innovations.org/projects/jrf/u…
We spend loads more on health and on education than we do on infrastructure, R&D, and culture. And on those things we spend the same amount in the South East that we spend in the North.
