<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The Labour leader is preparing to unveil a raft of proposals at the party’s annual conference that he would enact if he wins a general election.</p>
<p>Boris Johnson has twice tried to call an early election to break the Brexit deadlock in Parliament, but opposition parties have voted him down.</p>
<p>They have cited fears that the Prime Minister could use a vote to force through a no-deal Brexit.</p>
<p>Mr Corbyn told the BBC that he is “absolutely” ready to become PM, but asked if he was daunted, he replied: “Yes.”</p>

<p>But he added that he is “utterly determined to carry through into government our programme to bring about better social justice all across this country”.</p>
<p>Mr Corbyn has called for economic reform to tackle wealth inequalities between different parts of the UK ahead of his party conference starting in Brighton on Saturday.</p>
<p>He said Labour analysis of Office for National Statistics data suggesting “dramatic” inequality across the nation is a “sign of a sick economy”.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>“The system is broken when it inflates the wealth of the richest while failing to invest in our future,” he added.</p>
<p>“This inequality doesn’t just undermine our future prosperity, it’s linked to all sorts of social problems, including violent crime, worse health outcomes and reduced access to education.</p>
<p>“But we can change things. Democracy moves power from the bank balance and the boardroom to the voting booth.”</p>

<p>Labour’s research suggested that the richest 10% of Londoners hold nearly two-thirds of the city’s total wealth (61%).</p>
<p>While the same group of Londoners have one-and-a-quarter times more wealth than the whole of Scotland and almost two-and-a-half times more wealth than the whole of Wales, the analysis added.</p>
<p>Luke Raikes, senior research fellow at IPPR North, said the figures are “further evidence that our economy is broken”.</p>
<p>“Outside of London, low public investment means regional economies like the North are held back, while London’s overheating economy drives up both house prices and inequalities,” he added.</p>
<p>“We cannot fix these problems from Whitehall. People in regions across the country need more power so that they can take the lead on their own affairs.</p>

<p>“The political parties must step up to prompt this change, devolve power and follow through on promises to invest in Northern people and infrastructure”.</p>
