Episode notes

In a week where 148 Tory MPs voted that they had no confidence in Boris Johnson, the Northern Agenda podcast speaks to two northern Conservatives who came to parliament in 2019 - and backed the prime minister in the confidence vote.

As the Levelling Up bill returns to the Commons, Jacob Young - the MP for Redcar - tells Dan O'Donohue how he believes the government's flagship policy remains the priority for the Tories. He also explains why he stood by Boris Johnson in the confidence vote this week.

And James Daly, the MP for Bury North, speaks to Rob Parsons about the importance of sport for the North's towns, cities, and communities.

The Northern Agenda is a Laudable production for Reach. It is presented by Rob Parsons and Daniel O'Donoghue, and it is produced by Daniel J. McLaughlin.
