This weekend marks eight years since his original speech laying out the need for a Northern Powerhouse
Mr Osborne, chair of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership said: “Eight years after my speech the vision of building a northern powerhouse is as strong as ever - but rather than being imposed by a single politician it’s now rooted in the communities of the north, who know that working together they can achieve much more than working apart.
In June 2014, Mr Osborne spoke in Manchester about his desire to create “a collection of northern cities - sufficiently close to each other that combined they can take on the world.” “So the powerhouse of London dominates more and more. And that’s not healthy for our economy. It’s not good for our country.”
“The Conservatives have written us off for too long. Labour will smash up a century of centralisation and put power back in people’s hands, to bring good jobs back to places that have lost them, get money back into people’s pockets, and rebuild our communities from the ground up.”
