It’s good that the govt is prioritising devolution of rail to the North - since they started talking about the #NorthernPowerhouse the number of delayed and late trains has doubled, so central govt clearly can’t be trusted to improve performance #QueensSpeech

Lovely to meet the team at @Somali_Golden and hear about the support they provide in Whalley Range & Moss Side to help people develop the skills they need to find work. Looking forward to working together to support parents and carers #CaringWorkingLiving

⚠️Serious violence⚠️ was the topic of today’s Reform Board; and Alysha and Stevie from ⁦@mahdloyz⁩ and ⁦@Louis_Tweedale⁩ from @youthforum_rys shared their views and experiences of how Greater Manchester can take a more community-led approach to tackling it.

As the North faces challenges like:
• AI and automation
• Climate crisis
• An ageing population
• Brexit
Central government can't be left in charge - the region needs control over its own affairs

[Luke Raikes @lukeraikes]

The North’s economy is larger than many EU countries’. But centralised industrial strategy has held it back.

Regions overseas like North Rhine Westphalia were able to modernise their economies – with regional industrial strategies and economic powers.

[Luke Raikes @lukeraikes]

Today we publish a plan for the North to take control of its economy, and #PowerUptheNorth:
• start with a Northern Industrial Strategy
• take on specific powers at the Northern level
• finally, develop a Council of the North to remain accountable to Northern people

It will include announcements on our #buses, #trams, #trains and #cycling.

Watch this space.

🗣️"We have long recognised that short-term prison sentences are not the right approach," says @DeputyMayorofGM, as @MoJGovUK announces Greater Manchester as one of two new areas to pilot community sentence treatment programmes.
