EVERY part of Britain has been “levelled down” since the Tories came to power, with the average person losing out on £10,200.
The Centre for Cities think tank found that residents in Scotland were among the hardest hit, and could have been £23,000 better off if income growth had continued at the same rate as between 1998 and 2010.
Aberdeen lost out the most, with the research indicating that residents could have been £45,240 better off.
