The Labour mayor for Newcastle and North Tyneside has accused the party of failing to capitalise on the success of its mayors across the country, saying the leadership is too focused on Westminster politics.
Jamie Driscoll, the mayor for the North of Tyne – an area that includes Newcastle, North Tyneside and Northumberland – told the Guardian he thought Labour were not doing enough to highlight the achievements of people like him, Sadiq Khan and Andy Burnham.
