Campaign Day 8 - A Radical Decentralisation Of Power From London And Whitehall To Our Communities

Another very positive day of campaigning across North Durham – with plenty of lifelong Labour voters saying that they are ready to vote for change and a strong local voice come May 6th.

I popped down to the North Eastern launch of the manifesto at Cullercoats, where there was a real buzz in the air – a real sense of enthusiasm and excitement. The manifesto contains a very central idea – trusting the people.

It is based on the idea that power should be redistributed from London and Whitehall to local communities and local people. In the North East, politicians in London have ignored our region for too long. We need passionate North Eastern representatives in Parliament to stand up for our region and our area. And we also urgently need to kind of radical decentralisation of power from Whitehall to local people set out by the Conservatives today.
