We launch the North Poll Podcast which looks at issues in run up to Election on December 12

The North Poll Podcast is launching today, looking at issues in the run-up to the General Election on December 12, that affect the North.

Join political journalists and commentators from across the North as they debate the issues, unpack the campaign trail twists and turns, and consider what the North really needs from Westminster.

The M.E.N's political editor, Jen Williams, is joined in the first episode by Liverpool University Professor and Head of Politics Andrew Russell, the Yorkshire Post's Westminster correspondent Geraldine Scott, and the Liverpool Echo's political editor, Liam Thorp.

Jen Williams said the first episode of North Poll looks at why the North is such a big deal in this General Election and how Prime Minister Boris Johnson is going down in various Northern seats.

It will examine what the Towns Agenda means and whether it will work in the Election with the North.

And there will be a discussion about whether the Brexit Party could be more of a threat to the Labour Party than the Conservatives in the Election.

The podcast takes a look at why the North is such a big deal in the outcome of the Election and it is the essential listen that gets to the heart of issues that are impacting in the North.

The North Poll is a Laudable production, featuring titles including The Yorkshire Post, the Manchester Evening News and the Liverpool Echo.

Get The North Poll from wherever you get your podcasts, or you can download the  Entale app on iOS  for exclusive immersive content to accompany this podcast, including pictures, maps and graphics.
