The shadow levelling up secretary and Wigan MP told a major regional conference in Manchester that a Labour government would unleash the 'power of all people in all parts of Britain'
Labour should not look to London as a model for levelling up, Lisa Nandy has told a major regional conference in Manchester today . The shadow levelling up secretary told the Convention of the North how a Labour government would unleash the 'power of all people in all parts of Britain'.
However, Ms Nandy said that 'times is up', promising that Labour would 'do things differently'. She told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that disparities within English regions are also growing and must be closed. She said: "One of the great challenges that we've got here in Britain, is that we've got these great inequalities between regions, but we've also now got inequalities within regions that are even bigger. If we really want to be serious about the North of England as a powerhouse of Britain, then we've got to take seriously closing that gap."
The shadow levelling up secretary told the convention that the country should not subscribe to one model of city-led growth and warned against following in London's footsteps. She was asked whether she want places like Wigan which she represents to become commuter towns serving the cities they surround.
