Did Morland forget Philip went first, does he envision heaven as some bland suburban sitting room, or is he saying Phillip's in purgatory/hell? Or is that a different old couple?

Theoretically it is about raising the standard of living in deprived areas of the country so that they are on a level with the home counties (the bit around London). In practice it's a justification attached to anything they fancy and so far has done little but concentrate more money in the banker and consultancy classes.

The great part of levelling up is that it's something that clearly means something positive but is so vaguely defined that they can keep parroting it without ever having to concretely explain how they plan to do it / what metric applies.
