Never mind Europe......
The time is right to revive the campaign for northern devolution
"Now our government of millionaires gives us government of the North by the South East for the South East. It's dedicated to spending cuts which hit the North hardest because we're more dependent on public sector jobs and spending. It's abolished our Regional Development Agencies, and regional offices, put local government in financial chains. It's handed regional development to a scrabbling mass of Local Enterprise Partnerships competing for a smaller pot of money."
