Some meaningful reinvestment in our northern industries and the infrastructure around them would be near the top of any wish-list.
As well as a new beginning for our fishing industry.

Boris has promised you an oven ready Brexit this Christmas - which you might think is a bit of a turkey.
Jeremy is planning to give you £83 million worth of gifts – which you might not like the thought of paying for yourselves.
And Jo is getting excited about something that 17.4 million of you have already said you don’t want.
