Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram has welcomed Labour leader Keir Starmer's plan to push more power out of Westminster and towards towns and cities around the country.
On Monday, Starmer pledged to spread power away from the political centre of Westminster if his party wins the next General Election, saying he would give local regions a bigger say over things like transport, housing and jobs.
The Labour leader made a major presentation yesterday alongside former Prime Minister Gordon Brown who has led on the party's Commission for the Future of the UK, which also outlined how a Labour government would replace the unelected House of Lords with a new smaller, elected second chamber.
