## Resource

The North of England is seriously eyeing the 2040 Olympics, with Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy launching a feasibility study to assess costs and impact—seeing it as a chance to boost infrastructure, economy, and national pride. While London Mayor Sadiq Khan pushes back, Nandy insists “it’s our turn and our time,” arguing the North deserves global stage. Beyond the Games, she’s also pushing for a fairer honours system, calling for more Northern voices and community heroes to be recognized—inviting listeners to nominate their own.
