Michael Gove has called on "red and blue" to unite as he spoke to leaders in the North about Government plans for "levelling up".
The Levelling Up Secretary addressed politicians and business leaders at the Convention of the North conference in Liverpool on Tuesday.
The politician was introduced by Mayor of Liverpool City Region Steve Rotheram, who jokingly compared him to new Everton manager Frank Lampard as he welcomed the "true blue" to Merseyside.
