British opposition Labour leader Keir Starmer will on Monday support plans to spread power away from the political centre of Westminster, aiming to offer people more control over their lives and local politicians a greater say on transport, housing and jobs.
Starmer, whose centre-left Labour Party is leading the governing Conservative Party in opinion polls, is moving to outline his agenda to show voters how he might govern before an election widely expected to be held in 2024.
"People up and down this country are crying out for a new approach," he will say, according to excerpts from his speech to be delivered at the unveiling of a report he commissioned entitled "A New Britain". The report will present 40 recommendations including handing local communities new powers over skills, transport, planning and culture to drive growth, Labour said in a statement. This, the party says, will enable the emergence of hundreds of "clusters" of economic activity in cities and towns.
