Northern England's Brexit voters need to be heard, says thinktank

Brexit vote is cry of community outrage at imbalances of wealth and power, warns IPPR North

Establishment figures should stop sneering at northern England's Brexit voters and instead work to understand their concerns, a leading thinktank will warn on Friday.

Speaking at its annual State of the North conference in Leeds, the director of the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) North, Ed Cox, will argue that Brexit negotiations should focus on the needs of the areas that voted most strongly to leave the EU.
