Levelling up special with Financial Times’ Whitehall Editor, Sebastian Payne. What does Levelling up mean for future infrastructure projects? Will the policy will be enough to convince voters? And what are the challenges of responding to the policy for the Labour Party? In this episode, we discuss Sebastian's new book about the 'Red Wall', Broken Heartlands: A journey through Labour’s Lost England and assess the government's new White Paper on Levelling Up which was announced in the House of Commons by Michael Gove last week. 

In a first episode of a two-part series focusing on the recent COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow, Copper’s Rory Puxley, Sam Cranston, Martin McCrink and Zoe McLernon review the last-minute agreement struck at COP26, the road to Net Zero and what this means for infrastructure. Drawing on a recent Copper report on public attitudes to Net Zero and our experience of being on the ground at the conference, we answer the following questions; will COP26 turn words into actions? Who will pay for net zero? And did developed countries let themselves off the hook in COP’s focus on coal?
