“It’s a lack of ambition” Labour mayors urge Keir Starmer to keep £28bn and House of Lords pledges

Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham and Liverpool city region mayor Steve Rotheram say Labour should stick to its pledge to increase green investment to 28bn a year.

They say peers who went to Eton are more likely to have been educated at Eton than those born in Liverpool or Manchester in the Lords .

Labour should stick to pledge to reindustrialise the north of England in a good way, says AB.

Labour would like to see Labour move forward on more devolution on devolution, he says.

But he says the public are more impatient to see better infrastructure and better jobs in the UK .

Labour have been out of power in Westminster for 14 years , but have been in power for seven years .

Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram have overturned a key part of the Thatcher legacy from the Eighties , deregulated buses, and we’ve done it under a Tory government. Imagine what we could do if we had a government pulling in the same direction as us ..
