Keir Starmer borrows Brexit slogan with 'take back control' pledge

Sir Keir Starmer has promised a new "take back control" bill to transfer powers from Westminster to communities.

In his first speech of 2023, the Labour leader - a former Remain supporter - said he wanted to turn the Brexit campaign slogan "into a solution".

He pledged to devolve new powers over employment support, transport, energy, housing, culture and childcare.

Sir Keir said the legislation would be "a centrepiece" of Labour's plans if it wins the next general election.
