UK Election 2024: How are young people feeling?
Listen now
Description
With just over a week to go until the UK General Election, we head to the seaside town of Southport in the north west of England. We speak to students and young entrepreneurs who live in the area to find out how they are feeling. We ask about the impact of inflation and a rising cost of living, and see which issues they'd like to hear the politicians talking about. It's far from a British problem - Southport could really be a microcosm of the changes and challenges facing young people in a community near you.
