A Yorkshire Parliament would work to create prosperity for the whole of Yorkshire. Piecemeal devolution to mayors has had some success and we must build on that but it could not stop the closure of Doncaster Sheffield Airport. #YorkshireParliament

There's no doubt about it, we need to fix the economic system so all stakeholders benefit from economic activity, not just investors. UBI could be a great idea because it offers a safety net which we all need from time to time.

I have seen a climate change map of Yorkshire which put's my house on the coast. This could be a bit of a problem as I currently live 12 miles inland.

The demand for Proportional Representation is becoming louder by the day - it is becoming clearer that to implement a fairer society with better climate protection requires a politics where every vote matters. Let's make the next election the last one using First-Past-The-Post!

Labour appears to be positioning itself to lose the next election. We need Labour to return to the progressive fold. In terms of reform, we need fair votes; devolution on the basis of subsidiarity; and an end to our adversarial political system.

Here in Yorkshire the Liberal Democrats The Green Party and Yorkshire Party all have huge opportunities, plus they all support the creation of a Yorkshire Parliament. #YorkshireParliament

Interesting that YesCymru reflects similar issues to those that are mentioned in this recent article from "Transforming Yorkshire" about the failure to invest in Yorkshire. The UK government bears much of the responsibility. transformingyorkshire.org.uk/2023/07/24/why…

Stakeholders do deserve proper consideration. This can be one of the advantages of cooperative enterprises. UBI not only offers hope but it could provide a real safety net which can be so valuable in time of need.

The changes required in response to global climate disruption and social injustices are so extensive as to require another form of human civilization. Changes we at Democratic Yorkshire take seriously.

Our mission is to create a vibrant democracy, inclusive society, and ecological civilisation for the benefit of the people of Yorkshire.

Started in January 2022, Democratic Yorkshire stands for a vibrant democracy, inclusive society, and ecological civilisation for the benefit of the people of Yorkshire. Our first 20 months has been spent developing the initial draft of a People’s Constitution for Yorkshire.

The passing of not only a famous but great Yorkshireman who never forgot his roots

We are investing in a new, more upbeat, and professional website than that in use currently. Hopefully it will be available within the next three weeks, so watch this space

Andy Burnham was spot on this morning's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg's programme when he criticised the Whipping System.

The Prime Minister and his Cabinet will meet in East Yorkshire today. Is this a gimmick, or have they finally woken up to the fact that in this first quarter of the twenty-first century, differences between the more successful Southern England and the North continue to grow?

The Prime Minister set Monday's Cabinet meeting in Goole to discuss his plans to redistribute funding from the abandoned HS2. All I could hear afterwards was a sigh from people who had listened to the same promises before.

Congratulations to David Tully, the independent candidate for coming second in yesterday's Rochdale by-election, beating the main political parties by a mile by sticking to local issues. We need more people like you to stand for public office.

Our next online seminar is about tackling climate change using systems thinking and will take place on Saturday, 18 May, between 1.00 and 2.30 pm. liberatingyorkshire.co.uk
