Sweeping political reform plans due to be outlined by the Labour Party today include greater regional devolution in a move welcomed by the north as 'radical and right'.
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and party leader, Sir Keir Starmer, are due to unveil the report of the party's commission on the UK’s future - which the ex-premier headed - at a joint press conference in Leeds on Monday.
Mr Brown has said abolition of the House of Lords must form a key part of Labour's plans to overhaul the way Britain is governed, with Sir Keir set to hail the proposals for political and economic devolution as 'the biggest ever transfer of power from Westminster to the British people'.
