Labour MPs raise concerns Burnham’s 10-year-plan will not be radical enough

Exclusive: Reindustrialisation Research Group to meet with Cabinet Office to discuss worries over PM’s long-term strategy

Labour MPs have sounded the alarm over Andy Burnham’s 10-year plan for government, raising concerns that it will not be radical or detailed enough.

MPs in the Reindustrialisation Research Group (ReRG), many of whom represent “red wall” seats that helped Labour win the last election, are meeting Sally Jameson, the Cabinet Office minister, on Wednesday to share their concerns about the prime minister’s long-term strategy.

Members of the group say they are particularly concerned about the prime minister’s commitment to reviving Britain’s heavy industries, which they say are being crushed by high energy prices and a lack of government support.
