So much potential, but such a shame the one presenter who supports Labour is a coward and can't give as good as he get, always wants to change the story when anything negative about Labour comes on. Then what's the point?
Description
Chris Maguire and Frank McKenna are Northern-based political commentators and co-hosts of the Northern Spin podcast.
Maguire is an award-winning journalist and Executive Editor of BusinessCloud, while McKenna is Chief Executive and Group Chairman of Downtown in Business.
Launched in 2022, Northern Spin was created to give the North a stronger voice - cutting through Westminster noise with sharp analysis of politics, business and media from a distinctly Northern perspective.
Now, as Andy Burnham becomes the first Northern-born Prime Minister since Harold Wilson in 1976, Northern Spin returns to separate fact from spin and bring listeners authoritative insight from the North.
