To mark #BlackHistoryMonth2024, I took a group of amazing students from @RCDivineMercy on a tour of our city-centre to learn about how, in 1862, the humble cotton-workers of Manchester took a stand and refused to handle slave-picked cotton.👇🏻

Our state schools need teachers more than private schools need embossed stationery. Our children need mental health support more than private schools need new pools. Our students need careers advice more than private schools need AstroTurf pitches. inews.co.uk/news/private-sch…

The highlight of #LabourConference for me was been able to talk at the Business Panal event along side fellow mayors and really put the case forward for how much our region has to offer. I spoke about York and North Yorkshire being a key player in the food and farming sector, the rail industry as well as our bold ambition for Net Zero. I also spoke of the challenges we face. The lack of affordable homes, poor transport connectivity and how it’s vital we give people the skills they need to stay and work in our beautiful region.

Brilliant few days in Liverpool for #LabourConference It’s not only been an opportunity to meet up with my fellow mayors and chat with ministers, but I’ve also been able to continue to push the positive messages about what York and North Yorkshire has to offer!

York and North Yorkshire is home to some of (probably the best!) countryside and nature in the country, it’s what makes our region so beautiful. Labour have great plans to protect, restore and improve our green spaces and I know Steve and the team are determined to make this happen. Positive change is coming!🌲🐝🌿
