Episode notes

In our first conference, held in Newcastle last week, The Northern Agenda asked the question: what will the North look like in 2030?

Speakers and panellists - from MPs to mayors, ministers to educators - offered their perspective on this topic, pondering what the government's Levelling Up agenda could do for health, education, jobs, poverty, and more.

This week's episode of The Northern Agenda podcast, hosted by Rob Parsons and Dan O'Donohue, features behind-the scenes interviews from some of the conference's guests, including:

⬆️A message from Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham

⬆️How Northumbria police and crime commissioner Kim McGuinness wants to tackle poverty through the police force

⬆️North of Tyne mayor Jamie Driscoll on his idea for a 'coup d'North'

⬆️Levelling up minister Neil O'Brien on the department's relationship with the Treasury

⬆️The Northern Powerhouse Partnership's Henri Murison gives his reaction to the speeches from the conference

⬆️And shadow levelling up secretary Lisa Nandy on the most powerful word in politics that needs to be heard in the North

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.
