The problems you describe transcend party politics. Nothing less than a complete re-evaluation of how we’re governed and an urgency to transform the regions of England so they become a compelling attraction for the great and good to work and invest in them. Great and effective leadership in sufficient numbers is required to transform these areas: centres of learning and excellence, widespread apprenticeships, infrastructure building and huge tax incentives.
This ‘red’ Tory government will be judged on its intentions and its record. It is a challenge it must not shirk as Labour retreats like a piece of shrivelled dry fruit into a repository for unstable, militant minority interest groups far from the places the author describes.
