Episode notes

The Yorkshire Post’s Westminster Correspondent Mason Boycott-Owen profiles 12 constituencies in 12 weeks to find the stories behind the polls and dissect the big issues facing voters, in a new Battleground Yorkshire series.

For our fourth seat of Leeds Central and Headingley, Mason speaks to Labour MP Alex Sobel and Ruby Ruby Herbert from Labour Students about whether projected Labour supermajority of young people has any issues with their party.

This week’s big issue is generational inequality, and Mason chatted to Liz Emerson from the Intergenerational Foundation about how bad young people’s prospects are compared to their parents and grandparents.
