The Northern Agenda

Why voters in the North are so disillusioned by the General Election

Listen on

Episode notes

This week voters across the North will be going to the polls for the General Election with all the national polling pointing to a big Labour victory. 

But Rob Parsons wants to hear what's happening at local level across the North of England and has reassembled a panel of top political journalists, Liam Thorp from the Liverpool Echo, Joseph Timan from the Manchester Evening News and Graeme Whitfield from the Journal in the North East.

They discuss why voters in the North are so disillusioned, what Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak have been saying on their trips to our region...and perhaps most importantly their go-to snacks to keep them awake through a long election night.
