PM keen to harness identities of regions

THE Council of the Nations and Regions has moved the UK "a long way down the road" towards more jobs and investment, the Prime Minister has said.

The body met for the first time in Edinburgh yesterday, bringing together the leadership of the devolved administrations and English metro mayors in an effort to "rewire" the way the Government interacts with devolved areas, Sir Keir Starmer said.

Following three hours of meetings, Sir Keir touted the importance of the summit.
