This Black History Month, The Agenda: Communities on the Frontline | Tees Valley, returns with a special edition filmed on location and we’re inviting YOU to join our live studio audience!

— Kemi Badenoch, Conservative Party Conference (ITV News)

What does this mean for modern Britain?
How do we define “shared values” in a diverse society?
And how do we stand firm in power and pride — together?
