Former prime minister Gordon Brown, Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham are among those who have joined the Alliance for Radical Democratic Change.
"To that effect we are creating the Alliance for Radical Democratic Change to implement wide-ranging proposals for the reform of the UK."To end the centralisation of power in Whitehall and WestminsterTo make cities and regions centres of initiative for full employment and good jobs
Speaking ahead of the event, Mr Drakeford said:"We need a new strengthened union which guarantees that no-one will find themselves unable to eat or relying on a food bank; facing old age or illness at the margins of society. Mr Burnham said:"Just like Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the north of England has suffered from an over-concentration of political and economic power in the South East of the UK."This is changing with the devolution of power out of Westminster, but in our experience it works best when it goes deep.
Writing earlier this week in the Scotsman, Mr Brown added:"We need to begin the major reform of Britain so that the way we run ourselves is more democratic, less corrupt, and more responsive to the wishes of people from across our diverse nation.
