Northern Powerhouse Rail is a chance to learn from failings of HS2, and finally offer a network that allows the North to flourish.

We cannot risk kicking these plans down the road any longer, govt must push forward with NPR.

If this happens to you PLEASE take a leaflet then let me know and send it to me. So I can (look into) sue the arses off them!

Hello there!

I've started writing a (free!) substack, mainly focusing on what achievable, sensible, and good public policy change looks like (with a focus on living standards).

First post is a little different though...

As our APPG Chair, @EmmaLewell states, now is the “chance to turn the tide” on child and young person mental health. 

Read why coordinated action with a prevention focus is needed to tackle poor mental health in the latest Child of the North APPG report: https://t.co/SkgOlr5gvp

NO he won’t be “out in just over 20 years” - that’s the minimum term before he can apply for parole

N0 he didn’t get a lighter sentence because of the knife - he has deliberately cut out the bit that says he got a LONGER sentence

If he was still a solicitor he’d get struck off

The Olympics has never come to the North. It's time that changed.

Here's why a Northern Games would be game changing 🏅⬇️

Yesterday, Taylor Harwood-Bellis mocked Luke Ayling for his stammer.

Here’s a video of Ayling discussing what it’s like to live with a stammer and his journey.

Anyone who mocks him after watching a video like this should hang their head in shame.

This week, we launched our Health for Wealth 2 publication in Parliament.

The report reveals health inequalities between the North and rest of England have widened dramatically over the last decade. Tackling this could generate £18 billion a year.

As far as I know they don't have to do it. And it is about as uncomfortable as you'd guess it would be. Which makes me appreciate even more that Aria are now publishing most of their regional funding breakdowns. https://t.co/Zz3oRicFUH

“Improving healthy life expectancy for all should be a non-party political issue but to do that we need to recognise as a society that its roots lie in poverty and deprivation.” - @HannahDaviesHEN, Executive Director of Health Equity North

📰In our paper released today, IPPR North says The Great North partnership and government should act collaboratively to establish the north as a great place to invest and ultimately help raise living standards.

Our latest report shows the economic inactivity crisis is greater in the North, with workers more likely to lose their job due to ill health and those without educational qualifications nine times more likely to lose their job if they become ill.

Are you having issues with the civil service pension, delays or contact difficulties? If so how long has it been going on and what are the problems you face.

I'm asking my news team to take a look at it. They'll be going through your responses as part of our research.
