Yes. But it requires a plan for a total restructuring of the economy and an understanding of what that entails and the foundations required otherwise it ends up being a futile effort to prop up something that is fundamentally fallacious, broken and imploding.

Yep,
but as the flatearth brexiteurs keep pointing out, we are the 5th/6th largest economy.
Clean up our offshore banking/investment/ownership laws,
offer an amnesty for assets coming back into the UK economy,
and we'll have an unexpected £15/20/30? billion to invest in a true Northern Powerhouse.
Financial transaction tax, a sovereign wealth fund, that owns the UK's infrastructure,
it's all do-able.

Have a structured investment policy to improve the lives of people in regions ignored since the Thatcher era.
