Reform know even their own voters can't stand to see the disgraceful dehumanisation of asylum seekers and immigrants.

Universities are making staff redundant, struggling to fund core research, and cutting the degrees they offer. Yet they can afford to spend money spying on people they have a duty of care over.

This story of over 100 books being removed from a school library is an outrageous restriction of young people's ability to access information & culture in a safe and supported environment.

We asked candidates in the Gorton & Denton by-election these questions:

What would you do to address the North/South divide if elected to parliament?

What are your views on devolution in the North?

SDP - Sebastian Moore

“I am in favour of the greatest level of decentralisation possible because I know that the people closest to an area are best placed to make the decisions.”

Libertarian Party - Dan Clarke

“I believe that if there is significant devolution to the North, where As much devolution as possible is done, […] then living standards, industry, jobs etc will significantly improve and be in line with standards down south.”

Rejoin EU - Joseph O'Meachair

“the North requires some form of regional government to access and use the regional development funds available through the EU, but only if we are members.”

Advance UK - Nick Buckley
