Steve Rotheram, mayor of the Liverpool City Region, said there was a ‘buzz’ about the Labour Party similar to 1996
“In 1996 there was just this sense that everyone had had enough of that lot and all that sort of stuff, but there was something exciting happening. “That’s always a really good thing for us because we rely on volunteers. It’s the Labour Party members that make this party great, so we need them to be enthused, to go out there and think there’s a prize for us to actually win.”
“We’ve got some great policies in certain areas, but we will hopefully start to see some of that teased out here as a package.” One particular area Mr Rotheram would like greater control over is skills. The former bricklayer is passionate about apprenticeships and has called for more control over how the apprenticeship levy is spent, allowing regions to match training to skills shortages.
