Gove says plan will ‘turbocharge’ growth in neglected parts of country but Lisa Nandy says it shows government is out of ideas
Lisa Nandy, the shadow levelling-up secretary, has criticised Michael Gove’s long-awaited white paper, claiming it is evidence of “a government in freefall: out of ideas, out of energy”.
Presenting his 250-page report to MPs on Wednesday, Gove said it showed the government would “shift wealth and power decisively to working people and their families”, setting out aspirations to level up everything from broadband to bus links.
