Do u read the links you put up?

Well done to the North East for having well over 10k new business last year.

Many will sadly fail but most will go on to grow and employ people.

You seem to have (conveniently???) overlooked the first paragraph of the article:

Chancellor George Osborne's Northern Powerhouse is a regional flop, new figures reveal.
More start-up companies were launched in just one London postcode than in all the towns and small cities in Yorkshire, statistics reveal.

Well done to those who have managed to start a business but it doesn't sound like a resounding success and of the readers polled 97 percent said it had failed.

I did not overlook the first paragraph if fact I read the whole left wing biased article.

I don't except that over 10k new business starts is something to be sneered at.
