The prime minister will be back in the North of England and will pledge to back the Sheffield City Region Deal.
He will also back talks for a similar deal with Leeds and West Yorkshire and announce plans for a new Northern Powerhouse growth body to work with government minister Jake Berry, a close ally of the PM.
The PM will claim one of his top domestic priorities will be to give more powers to local leaders to ensure communities are in control of transport, infrastructure and housing. "No one is going to be fooled by this whistle stop tour and cheap speech when every day, people are living with the consequences of a decade of austerity and cuts to public services," said Labour's shadow communities secretary Andrew Gwynne, a close ally of Jeremy Corbyn.
"Whatever happens with Brexit, the government need to be working constructively with northern leaders. We are the people who know our communities, our opportunities and our challenges best." "If the North is to take back control it must be the Northern Powerhouse that shapes its own destiny. However much we trust Jake Berry MP as our voice at the cabinet table, relying on Whitehall to back us and our plans to rebalance the country is not enough."
