We have all heard of the North-South divide, but author Sam Bright believes that the gap is far bigger and covers a wider area.

The journalist and author of 'Fortress London' joins Rob Parsons on The Northern Agenda to discuss the "burning injustices" between the capital and the rest of England.

He explains why he thinks Parliament should be relocated to Leeds, and how the government has "deployed lots of fancy words in typical Boris Johnson fashion" on levelling up but why it falls substantially short in substance.

And West Yorkshire mayor Tracy Brabin reflects on his first year in the role.

The former Batley and Spen MP chats to Rob about her recent announcement on bus fares, her relationship with levelling up secretary Michael Gove, and how the prosperity of Leeds impacts the rest of the region.

The Northern Agenda is a Laudable production for Reach. It is presented by Rob Parsons and Daniel O'Donoghue, and it is produced by Daniel J. McLaughlin.
