Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell speaks to supporters whilst on the campaign trail in Liverpool, today
JOHN McDONNELL vowed today to create an “irreversible shift in power” in favour of regions outside of London.

After describing the experiences of his father and grandfather, who were both Liverpool dockers, Mr McDonnell promised unprecedented levels of investment across the country.
