The Treasury would put far more energy and funding into boosting the Northern economy under a Labour government, Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves has vowed, pledging to help towns such as Bury regain their hope.
Speaking to the M.E.N. ahead of a speech at Bury Met this morning, she said investment under a Labour administration would no longer be skewed away from areas because their economies were not yet thriving like London's.
She argued many people here currently feel more pride in their past than they have confidence in the future - but promised to restore that faith after a ‘lost decade’ of economic stagnation, adding: "“People want to see more stuff built and made in Britain."
