Labour is “coming back to finish the job” of the New Labour government, Lisa Nandy has vowed, saying the party has undergone a dramatic transformation and is now “fit to govern”.
In an interview with the Guardian, Nandy revealed Labour was now working with the former Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane, who was previously tasked by Michael Gove to develop his levelling up strategy. Haldane is working with Nandy on the party’s strategy for regional growth, which Nandy described as “dead” under the Conservatives.
