Andrew Marr has said that the British political establishment needs "an almighty kick up its great fat white bottom", after calls by Labour to abolish the House of Lords and to give more power to the British regions.Speaking on LBC's Tonight with Andrew Marr, the presenter pointed out that parts of the UK are poorer than parts of eastern and central Europe, adding that "we are an incredibly centralised country - and it hasn't done well for us".
"But before we come onto that I want to tell you about some of the research behind this.They did their own polling, and they found that a clear majority of British adults, in all places, and supporters of all parties, think it doesn’t matter who you vote for, nothing will ever really change." "It’s a similar picture compared with the poorer parts of the USA. We are an incredibly centralised country, and it hasn’t done well for us. So if you think constitutional reform is a huge inducer of yawns, and not much else, you are wrong. It isn’t popular because nobody knows what it means.
"More directly elected mayors and more powers for towns and cities across the UK. Less London, in short, and more local.
