The UK must set out a long-term industrial strategy committed to delivering good quality local jobs, a think tank has urged.
The research, conducted among voters living in Conservative-held seats in the North West and Yorkshire, also found that 53 per cent believe Rishi Sunak is “not at all” committed to levelling up.
Henri Murison, Chief Executive of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership, said: “No one wants to be remembered as the Prime Minister who pulled the plug on over a decade of cross-party consensus, not to mention huge amounts of private investment from the UK and overseas.” Separate polling suggested that investment in green energy, such as the policies championed by the UK’s allies and competitors abroad, is popular among Conservative voters, despite the decision by the Prime Minister to row back on some of his net zero pledges.
Research by the Onward think tank found that 49 per cent of Conservative 2019 voters back net zero, with only a fifth opposed, and rank it as the fifth biggest issue facing the UK.
