🎂 Happy Keir-niversary?

from The Northern Agenda · host Laudable

This week we're marking exactly one year since Keir Starmer and Labour won ​t​he 2024 General Election. But what's the last 12 months of a Labour government meant for the North, has ​S​ir Keir lived up to his promises or have things just got worse? That's what ​Rob and Liam are discussing on this week's episode, as they reflect on the good and bad of Starmer's first year (including some policies they definitely won't be talking around down the Dog and Duck in Beverley). Plus: How much is Andy Burnham's bus network in Greater Manchester actually costing? And how did one Yorkshire spa owner turn a mortifying social media faux pas into an opportunity? And Liam tells us how his Liverpool Echo colleagues covered the tragic breaking story about the death of Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota. The Northern Agenda is Reach production, presented by Rob Parsons and Liam Thorp, and produced by Daniel J. McLaughlin. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
