The Liverpool Echo is expanding its coverage of regional and national politics with the launch of a new daily newsletter - The Northern Agenda.
Brexit and Covid-19 have highlighted the huge regional imbalances within the UK, making it more important than ever for northern voices to be heard.
Boris Johnson was voted into Number 10 on a pledge to ‘level up’ the North - and now faces pressure from all sides to deliver. Meanwhile, the so-called ‘Red Wall’ of northern constituencies have become the decisive battleground for control of Parliament.
As Westminster wrestles with tackling the inequalities across the country, The Northern Agenda will report from the other side of the North/South divide.
Our new newsletter will analyse and report daily on the shifting political landscape with expert contributors and observers.
It will feature issues which have an impact across the North of England and scrutinise progress on promises to devolve power, government jobs and decision-making out of London.
The Northern Agenda aims to champion the North by highlighting the stories which are impossible for policy makers to ignore.
The free newsletter draws on a wide network of journalists specialising in politics and public affairs both here at the Liverpool Echo and at some of the leading news titles across the North.
We are teaming up with newsrooms in every part of the North with reporters based in Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Hull, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Teesside, Lancashire and Cumbria all adding their local expertise and analysis.
The Northern Agenda will aim to select and showcase the stories which are of interest to anyone with a stake in the future of the North.
As well as a daily newsletter, The Northern Agenda will interview politicians and policy makers to debate and analyse the key issues each week.
You can sign up to The Northern Agenda newsletter in the sign-up box on this page, or by clicking on this link and selecting 'The Northern Agenda'.
