Sir Keir Starmer and former Prime Minister Gordon Brown have unveiled a Labour Party blueprint for the future 'proposing the biggest ever transfer of political power out of Westminster and into the towns, cities, and nations of the UK'.
The Commission on the UK's Future, chaired by the ex-PM, has published its final report and in it, calls for 'handing more economic control to English mayors and local authorities'. Key proposals include replacing the House of Lords with a new Assembly of the Nations and Regions, and the creation of a new Council of the UK to promote joint working between governments across the nation.
As he unveiled the devolution-heavy, 155-page document, which gives 40 recommendations, Labour leader Sir Keir vowed to 'unbind' Britain from a centre that has 'not delivered', claiming people are being held back by a 'broken model' that 'hoards power in Westminster' with the country 'crying out for a new approach'.
