'The demand is for a general election.' We've been speaking to the Labour leader on another dramatic day in Westminster 👇
“I don't think they know what they're doing. Now we’re going to get a statement...but no OBR [Office for Budget Responsibility] [analysis] around it. It is self-inflicted damage on the British economy by a government that’s out of control and it’s being paid for by working people - and that is unforgivable.
“At our conference, we were able to set out our answers to the challenges of the future - clean power by 2030 and [the creation of] Great British Energy, a publicly-owned company that will drive forward the agenda over the next few years and give the stability that businesses across the North West absolutely need.
“The lighthouse beam only comes round from time-to-time onto an opposition - it came round this autumn and what people saw illuminated was a Labour Party that’s changed, a Labour Party that has the practical answers to the challenges that..the country is facing. The contrast with the Tories couldn't be any greater now.
“And if the choice is between oil and gas companies paying their fair share or working people picking up the bill, then for the Labour Party, that’s a very easy choice. We say the oil and gas companies have got to pay their fair share - Liz Truss says she wouldn't touch them, she’ll make working people pay the lot.
“But for people on a fixed-term mortgage, the idea of paying £370 more per month… that is a huge price to pay for the total incompetence of the government.”Lancashire is now surrounded by areas that either have or are likely about to get devolution deals. The county has been pursuing one of the bespoke-style deals that Boris Johnson put on the table for areas that might not want local government reorganisation or an elected mayor.
