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

What this episode covers

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.
