Novara Media spoke to residents of Barnsley who called out rioters scapegoating immigrants: “Your problems are from the top-down people making us feel small because we’re working class. But I'm proud to be working class, and I'm proud to be anti-racist working class as well."

Breadline Voices: A food desert in the Garden of England

This is a food desert in the garden of England and in this way, food is more than what we eat. It symbolises a system that continues to fail us, a system that leaves many of us hungry and unheard.
