I’m involved in a project about the music scene in Barrow 1977-95. I’m creating new work about that time.
I’m looking for recordings of music & gigs to create new tracks.

Poverty is political
Despite economic growth since 2010, 5.2m UK children live in poverty. Govts imposed two-child benefit cap.
Due to lack of good food, housing, healthcare, UK children upto 7cm shorter than comparable Europeans.
Must reset political discourse

Successive governments have tailored economic and tax policies to impoverish the masses

Starmer tells us he’ll be ruthless - throwing the vulnerable under the bus :-( are these Labour values?
🚨 Cutting social security would be Austerity 2.0. Cruel & unfair.
Social security should be a support system anyone can rely on if life takes an unexpected turn, but it’s already not working as it should. (1/2)
