enior Labour and Conservative politicians have used a conference in Newcastle to outline their competing visions for levelling up the North.
Shadow Levelling Up Secretary Lisa Nandy and Levelling Up Minister Neil O’Brien were among the speakers at the first Northern Agenda Live event organised by Chronicle and Journal publishers Reach and held at our offices in Newcastle city centre.
The event also heard from other politicians, academics and business figures from around the North who debated issues such as health and wellbeing, northern identity, the green agenda and education and skills.
