This week’s episode of the North Poll - the election podcast from the north, about the north - is out now.
As we draw into the final fortnight of the General Election campaign , we look at what the main parties are promising for the region, whether those promises stack up, and what’s missing.
Joining us this week are Rob Ford, Professor of political science at Manchester University, Henri Murison, director at the Northern Powerhouse Partnership, and Arianna Giovannini, interim director at IPPR North.
We discuss whether the party manifestos will really make much difference in this campaign and strip out the spending pledges for our region, focusing in particular on transport and infrastructure, and whether those promises stand up to scrutiny.
And we look at the things that should have been in there, but weren't.
Join us each week throughout the campaign as we look at the campaign from the northern end of the political telescope.
