The Campaign for a Yorkshire Parliament is a cross-party movement to establish democratic, regional representation for everyone in Yorkshire.

Northern Powerhouse Rail delayed again. London gets certainty, Yorkshire gets excuses.
This is why we need stronger regional governance — decisions about Yorkshire should be made in Yorkshire.
We’re not asking for special treatment, just fairness. share.google/aSsTirGMcrsRpVW… – at Brussels, Belgium
I think the issue here is to draw attention to the fact that Yorkshire; a region with a similar population to Scotland, an economy around twice the size of Wales, is not a political entity, is more than a county but not a country; has no powers and is not recognised by UK gov.

Thanks for the support!
At a time where policies seem more and more based by parliamentarian experience of london transport services, we must shout louder for Yorkshire which has no where near the same level.
The Yorkshire Party is the party for Yorkshire but the Greens also support regional parliaments.

A great piece well worth a read.
A Yorkshire Investment Bank.
Owned by Yorkshire people.
For the benefit of Yorkshire people.
We've been championing this for a while, and we believe it's exactly what Yorkshire needs.

If Cornwall can do it, then Yorkshire should too. We should have nation status for Yorkshire.
Nation status would lead to Cornwall having more control over housing, transport, and the economy, with decisions taken locally rather than hundreds of miles away.

Remember the protests against #fracking in @wrexham back in 2014-6? Well, Reform want to get back to causing mini earthquakes to extract gas beneath our homes. Fracking is still not welcome in @Wrecsam!

Westminster does not work for Yorkshire. We want a Yorkshire Parliament. English independence would do nothing for us. Westminster has completely failed to tackle English regional inequality.
All of us in Wales, Scotland and Ireland should back the campaign for English independence 🏴 and help our neighbours become #indyconfident

Yorkshire should be a political entity, we must have a Yorkshire Parliament and we could do with a Yorkshire Development Bank.

Poverty drives poor mental health — but UBI pilots show the opposite.
🧵👇
In the UK, Poverty Is Driving Mental Illness Among the Young.
Low wages, high rents, cost of living, insecure jobs, debt, poor healthcare infrastructure leading to anxiety and illness.
Political parties obsessed with austerity, public service cuts.

It's a similar situation in Yorkshire, two hours to travel 28 miles and that is considered a direct service. No HS2, chaos and disruption on the transpennine line, overcrowding, trains that would be better in museums. It's all in hand evidently. Seeing is believing!
Wales is paying billions towards rail projects in England, but it still takes over 6 HOURS to travel 45 miles in Wales.
We demand a fair deal for Wales!
✏️ Sign Plaid Cymru's petition calling for Wales to stop paying for England-only rail projects.

Yet another reason for a Yorkshire Parliament. We need a Yorkshire economic strategy.

Basically, the government has lost control. Many of the most powerful super rich are foreign nationals and large multi national corporations. The government can do nothing about this. The country has been sold down the river. We need a Yorkshire Parliament to safeguard Yorkshire.

If we had a Yorkshire Parliament, Doncaster Sheffield Airport would never have closed in the first place. We need a Yorkshire Parliament to represent Yorkshire.

One Yorkshire would be better than what we currently have but we really need a Yorkshire Parliament with full authority over the region.
The Yorkshire mayoral model is a mess, fragmented powers, uneven influence, and a patchwork of devolution that leaves communities shortchanged. it’s a complex, limited setup that fails to deliver true local control or unity.

There's a public spending shortfall of £14BN in Yorkshire every year. We need a Yorkshire Parliament now.
