‘A mess of our own making’: Labour mayors reflect on Starmer’s first year

Steve Rotheram and Tracy Brabin urge PM to listen more, with one saying his government is ‘disjointed’ from the rest of Labour
Keir Starmer’s government appears “disjointed” from the rest of the Labour party just a year after taking power, regional mayors have said, with one blaming No 10 for overseeing “a mess of our own making”.
Steve Rotheram, the Labour mayor of Liverpool city region, said Downing Street’s repeated missteps were “winding up” people who wanted to back the government.
