A think-tank, founded to campaign for greater political powers for the North, is to be launched in Bradford in March.
The Hannah Mitchell Foundation has appointed Halifax Labour MP Linda Riordan as its president while Lord Prescott, the former Deputy Prime Minister, is a patron.
The foundation is named after Hannah Mitchell, a grassroots activist in the early socialist movement and long-serving Labour councillor in Manchester.
