Between London and North East?
For the last q I literally talked about how governments would regulate monopolies making them produce more, charging a lower price and higher output, which would result in a reduction in income inequality because the price of monopoly goods would be cheaper. I then linked the income distribution to GPI. And that if economic growth was one of their objectives they wouldn't do this because natural monopolies contribute a lot to economic growth. I then mentioned how the government subsidy used on the natural monopoly would maybe not be the best use of gov expenditure and that their reduced revenue may be better spent on education and healthcare to improve standard of living and development.

I know it's not the best point but will it get me some marks?

imo i found paper 1 one the hardest but I feel like it was my very first exam so I had hell of a lot of nerves. But the Macro went amazingly and this 3rd paper was not as good but i still though i did very well in it

Same I found micro the hardest. The way they worded the 25 markers as well like “evaluate whether such collusion is the biggest disadvantage of oligopoly” was dodgy coz you can’t really talk about the advantages there. And the gov. funding one was weird as well, didn’t really know what the emphasis of that q was. But macro was great and Themes seemed alright. I think boundaries will be around 160 for an A
