Wigan MP Lisa Nandy has blasted the government's plan to 'level up' the country, saying it "does nothing" to address the issues faced by northern towns and cities.
The shadow levelling up secretary said the long awaited plan, which ran to more than 300 pages, amounted to little more than a "cobbled together shopping list of recycled policies".
In a fiery House of Commons speech, Ms Nandy said the government had given more cash to "fraudsters" during the pandemic than they have to the North of England.
