If Yorkshire had the power to shape its own future, thanks to the devolution bill amendment. What should a regional government tackle first? Transport, jobs, housing, or something else? Your voice matters. Tell us what should top the list. #YorkshireDevolution #HaveYourSay

Dicky Bird has died – Yorkshire’s own, cherished for his warmth, humour and legendary cricketing spirit. From Barnsley to Test match stardom, he inspired generations with honesty, fair play and fierce pride in his roots. RIP.

Regional autonomy works, Scotland, Wales & NI lead on climate & energy while Westminster drags its feet. Imagine Yorkshire with those powers – cleaner air, green jobs, thriving communities. It’s time for a Yorkshire Regional Government. www.isepglobal.org/articles/ind...
