Do you think it could be because the people who care most about the messaging and policy on eg asylum and immigration are not directly impacted by worker and renter rights and don't view them as core to their identity in the same way they do their views on eg asylum?
Smajo kindly came to our Srebrenica memorial service in July and spoke movingly and powerfully and his experiences. What a lovely story he tells below.

The live music will come, I'm sure of that! It just gets booked so far in advance the opportunities weren't there early doors, but I know they're working on it!
Cheers nick, not long to go for either of them now! Darley street market 12 July and I know they're hoping to do public tours of Bradford Live soon. Or get tickets to Yorkshire Calling on 1 August!
Thanks for the kind words as well, it's a team effort but I'd pushed particularly for a big green park so it's nice to see how positively people have responded to it.
Hi nick, glad you love it! It's starting until April but there's a debate as to what happens after. Personally I'd leave it there as long as it was able, the site will probably start as is until the bus starting is redeveloped anyway and now it's in people are loving it more and more!
It drives me nuts. The Telegraph, Mail, Sun etc and the politicians they sponsor like Johnson, Farage, Cameron & Truss got everything they wanted for fourteen of the last fifteen years & only now, with Labour in power for *less than one*, do they acknowledge the damage they have done. It’s sick.

In the background is an image of a tram. Over the top there is text that reads Chancellor announces major funding boost for West Yorkshire Trams. Funding secured to get spades in the ground on Mass Transit project by 2028
Today is a huge moment for our region.
The Chancellor’s backing means we are on track to bring trams back to the streets of Leeds and Bradford.
It's time for trams and we're ready to deliver.

Starmer should invite Farage to tour a NHS ward in central London to see how much he connects with working people.
Hard to fathom that the legacy of 14 years could stretch beyond 10 months.
📣 Calling all young Yorkshire poets
The ThriddingsFest music and spoken word festival is on the lookout for poets for an event and competition this summer. Hint: “It’s all about Yorkshireness”

Yeah, and once you realise you can't really unsee it, and you feel nothing you're watching is authentic.
VICTORY! DEFEAT! Unpleasant mental images! My SKETCH of Today in Let's Get Back Together And Brexit Again!
MORE GOOD NEWS! Absolutely delighted to be able to finally announce an opening date for Darley Street Market - the big launch is 12 July! It's looking amazing and we can't wait to welcome you all inside!
Thank you! We're very pleased with it!
Sounds like you're due a visit! We've got a lovely new venue too Bradford Live, though still cherish St George's Hall and the legendary Alhambra!
Natural England is delighted today to declare England’s newest National Nature Reserve: the Bradford Pennine Gateway NNR. 1200 hectares of priority habitats on the doorstep of tens of thousands of people, many with limited access to high quality natural areas.

'A huge new national nature reserve, to be called the Bradford Pennine Gateway, is being announced by the government on Tuesday. It will give Bradford, one of Britain’s largest and most nature-deprived cities, easier and more protected access to green space.'
I hope you both visit during our year as UK City of Culture!
There's an installation going up on Penistone Hill in Haworth that will definitely be worth a visit!
