Mancs but no thanks: Conservative Party Conference special

It's party conference season and the problems are mounting up for Rishi Sunak as the Tories descend on Manchester. Why won't people stop asking him about HS2 coming to Manchester? Why are Conservative members more excited by Liz Truss than by his policies? And how does he persuade the North that he still cares about levelling up? In a special edition of the Northern Agenda podcast recorded at Manchester Central Library, Northern Agenda Editor Rob Parsons dissects the Tory conference so far with the help of Jennifer Williams from the Financial Times and Joseph Timan and Ethan Davies from the Manchester Evening News. *** The Northern Agenda is a Laudable production for Reach. It is presented by Rob Parsons, and produced by Daniel J. McLaughlin.
