🧠 The Northern brain drain: Why are so many young people in our region planning to move elsewhere for a better life?

It's a question everyone in the North should care about: Why are so many young people in our region planning to move elsewhere for a better life? On the week of a new report being published about the 'Northern brain drain', Rob Parsons speaks to young people and political leaders about what we need to offer to stop them leaving. And it's been a busy week for our two best-known metro mayors, Tees Valley's Ben Houchen and Greater Manchester's Andy Burnham, who've been hitting the headlines for very different reasons. Rob discussed their fortunes with Henri Murison of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership and asks whether Alastair Campbell was right to say there's no such thing as the North-South divide. *** The Northern Agenda is a Laudable production for Reach.
