Labour's Lisa Nandy promises to abolish Tories' 'fundamentally dishonest' levelling up missions
Labour has promised to abolish the 12 levelling up 'missions' after labelling the Government's targets for judging the success of Boris Johnson's flagship political project "fundamentally dishonest".
But in her speech Ms Nandy will replace the missions with an "independent advisory council drawn from every part of the UK – to monitor the government’s progress against metrics which deliver tangible outcomes for people". “Instead the Tories have taken their failure to deliver the most basic public services, taken their ideologically driven crusade to run down our key institutions, and twisted it into a perverse plan to keep shifting the goal posts on their record of delivery.
He also promised a new Levelling Up Advisory Council including members such as Sir Paul Collier, renowned economist at Oxford’s Blavatnik’s School of Government, providing further support and constructive analysis.
