The Northern Agenda is a weekly podcast covering politics and public affairs from across the North of England, voiced by journalists who are outside the Westminster bubble, reporting from the other side of the North/South divide. From Blackpool to Barnsley and Bamburgh and everywhere in between, exploring subjects such as levelling up to buses, elections to the latest council scraps, The Northern Agenda brings you discussion and analysis of the North's big political stories, from people experiencing them on the ground. Rob Parsons and Liam Thorp look at the political stories that really matter to the North - and from the North - that you won't hear about from the national media in London. The Northern Agenda is a Laudable production for Reach. It is presented by Rob Parsons, and it is produced by Daniel J. McLaughlin.

  • What Reform UK are really like in power

    What Reform UK are really like in power

    There's still several years until we're likely to get another General Election, but it's no longer a stretch to consider the possibility of Nigel Farage as Prime Minister and Reform UK as the ruling party. Until very recently however, we had precious little evidence of how and what Reform would actually do in power, since they had very little experience of actually running anything. All that changed in May though, as the party swept to victory in a host of local and mayoral elections across the North and nationwide, putting them in charge of local councils and metro mayoral authorities. How have they been doing since - and what lessons can we draw from Reform UK locally about what they would do if put in charge of the country? To find, Rob Parsons speaks to journalists from the Local Democracy Reporting Scheme: Paul Faulkner, covering Lancashire County Council Bill Edgar, covering Durham County Council Andrew Spence, covering Hull and East Yorkshire's mayoral Luke Campbell The Northern Agenda is a Reach production, presented by Rob Parsons and produced by Daniel J.

    Tackling the North's injustices: Orgreave, Hillsborough and child poverty
    Jul 24 2025
    This week, Rob Parsons and Liam Thorp digest the big news that could get us closer to the truth about the violent clashes between police and striking miners four decades ago that are still a source of huge anger in parts of our region even now. Plus Liam tells us about his trip on the new form of transport that's been gliding about the streets of Liverpool​. ​ And there are some worrying new stats that show for all of Labour's warm words about tackling child poverty, things in many parts of the North are still going in the wrong direction.

  • Don't Look Back In Anger: Reform UK cancels Durham's climate emergency

    Don't Look Back In Anger: Reform UK cancels Durham's climate emergency
    Jul 17 2025
    With Oasis' Manchester gigs the talk of the town, even senior politicians like Commons Leader Lucy Powell can't resist making groan-inducing puns about the Gallagher brothers' classic songs. But with the five Heaton Park concerts generating tens of millions of pounds, how can we ensure the wider community benefits? And Liam tells us about his Oasis experience standing in front of Boltonian icon Vernon Kay. Elsewhere, after the tragic death of a child in Liverpool from measles, why are fewer and fewer families in some parts of the North getting vaccinated against this potentially deadly illness? And we'll be having a look at what Reform UK are up to in County Durham, where having taken over the local council a few weeks ago Nigel Farage's party has now cancelled the 'climate emergency' declared by a previous administration six years ago. Rob and Liam are joined this week by Sarah Longlands, who's based in Manchester and is Chief Executive of The Centre for Local Economic Strategies. Learn more about your ad choices.
