The North Poll: Episode 2 of our General Election podcast for the north

They say a week is a long time in politics - so you can probably double that during a General Election campaign.

Since we launched our new northern podcast last week - plenty has happened including terrible flooding, a hugely significant leak around HS2 and a fair few gaffes from across the political divide.

The North Poll brings together journalists and commentators from across the north to talk about our region and why it is such an important aspect of this General Election.

This week's episode - Mopping Up -  sees Liverpool Echo Political Editor Liam Thorp introduce guests including Business Live editor Alistair Houghton, Lancashire Local Democracy Reporter Paul Faulkner and the MEN's Politics and Investigations Editor Jen Williams dials in.

The team discuss the responses to the floods, why the north needs HS2 and how Leave or Remain alliances could play out in our region.
