JEREMY CORBYN announced plans for the “re-industrialisation” of northern England yesterday, slamming the Tories’ feted “northern powerhouse” as a “cruel deception.”

Speaking in Leeds, Mr Corbyn also called for the Conservative government to apologise for its treatment of miners, and for a public inquiry into police brutality at Orgreave during the 1984-85 strike.

Ramped up bus services, mass house-building, super-fast broadband and new investment bodies are all on Mr Corbyn’s northern manifesto.

“It is in the long-term interest of Britain to rebuild a resilient industrial base and, with its people, energy, land and water, the north of England is the place to lead this,” he said.

Writing in the Mirror, Mr Corbyn said the north “has to take back power from our centralised state with real powers to invest and take decisions.”

“We also need to fight the brain drain — including in the arts and culture.

“One survey found the imbalance in national funding for the arts was 4:1 in favour of the capital. This will change if I am Prime Minister.”

Mr Corbyn said the shopping list was informed by the responses of over 1,000 northerners to a recent consultation.

Online, Manchester City Council leader Sir Richard Leese faced the ire of Mr Corbyn’s supporters when he tweeted: “Corbyn completely ignores what Labour in the north is doing.”

One wrote: “Did you respond to his consultation? Just curious.”
