Grayling North - The Burnham Era

Episode Description from the Publisher

With the country’s political centre shifting north, Andy Burnham’s first months in No.10 have already got people talking about where power now sits in Britain – and what that could mean not just for the North, but for the country as a whole. We were joined by Arooj Shah, Chair of Labour’s National Constitutional Committee (NCC), Henri Murison MBE, CEO of The Northern Powerhouse Partnership, and Joshi Herrmann, Founder & Editor of Mill Media, with Alice Newsham leading the conversation. The panel explored whether power is really moving away from Westminster, what a stronger northern voice could mean for our towns and cities, and how these changes could shape politics, business and decision-making across the UK. We also looked at how businesses and brands can make sure they’re part of the conversation as the political landscape evolves.
