» Labour: Our jobs pledge to rebuild UK » Reeves vows to reverse Tories' damage

- LIZZY BUCHAN

RACHEL Reeves is pledging to bring hope to the numerous areas neglected by the Conservatives.

The Shadow Chancellor will today set out details of Labour's promise of a jobs revolution, with 650,000 roles created for skilled workers such as plumbers, electricians and engineers.

Many of the jobs will be in industrial heartlands wrecked by the Tories.

Around 35,000 of the roles will be in the North East, 77,000 in the North West, 71,000 in Yorkshire and the Humber and 29,000 in Wales.

Labour says it will create good jobs in areas laid to waste by Margaret Thatcher and left behind by the Tories' broken promise to level up the country.
