It was a real privilege to speak to young people at National Citizenship Service supported by Oldham Athletic Community Trust, at the Primrose Bank Community Centre. It’s so important democracy is engaging.
I talked the young people through my journey in politics and how they can’t afford to sit back and assume that someone else will take the lead and speak up for the problems that their generation is encountering.
It’s my belief that anyone in that room at the Primrose Community Centre today could be a future Prime Minister, with hard work and a passion for serving your community you can go a long way.
And as always with these types of events there were fantastic and engaging questions from the young people involved.
I spoke to the team at the Oldham Athletic Community Trust afterwards and you can see that interview here: https://twitter.com/OfficialOACT/status/1425404353091866625?s=20
