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

Jeffrey Matsu is right — devolution without fiscal power is just window dressing. Regions like Yorkshire need real control over funding, not more bids to Whitehall. Until we can raise and spend our own money, devolution in England remains unfinished business.

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.
It is with profound sadness that The Yorkshire County Cricket Club announces the passing of Harold Dennis “Dickie” Bird MBE OBE, one of cricket’s most beloved figures, who died peacefully at home at the age of 92.

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.
