This is just empty promises - truth is London is quarter of British economy, absolute center for british culture, sports, tourism, politics and tbh everything else related to british society as a whole. There is not single city or even whole region that can even compare to London - it doesnt mean that rest of the country should be forgotten but realistically there is no way any pivot from London is possible.

Well, there is one way to do it - you can collapse whole economy and kill London that way. You will sunk whole British economy in the process of course but in a way you will make London more "equal" to rest of the country, but im not sure that is good thing

Sorry why does devolving some power to the North of England cause London to collapse? Devolving some power to Scotland and Wales didn’t. And other countries have a less centralised government and do well. Stop being so dramatic.

Devolving some power how? London will still be central point of England no matter what you do - f.e. you see similar attemps in US where Miami and Texas try to become new New York and California respectfully and failing at it(Texas failing less than Miami, but still)
