Blyth Valley in Northumberland was the first Labour ‘red wall’ seat to go to the Conservatives as results came in on election night in 2019. Ian Levy overturned an 8000 Labour majority to win by 712 votes. Today's Mishal Husain visits the Blyth Valley constituency to speak to residents and business owners about what levelling up is delivering in the area and tries to gauge the chances of the Conservatives retaining the seat.

Mishal also speaks to the Business Secretary, Kwasi Kwarteng about investment in the north east and making levelling up a reality.
