Lemn Sissay takes us back to his childhood in Makerfield, a town now thrust into the political spotlight by a by-election, offering a raw, unfiltered look at the real motives behind the politicians. Amid the buzz, he shares a local’s longing for simple normalcy — just a pasty without political questions — and lends his poetic voice to the campaign, using “Anthem of The North” to stir hope. His vivid memories of 1960s Lancashire — the corner shop, the rag and bone man, the high street’s lost charm — still echo in his work, grounding his connection to the place. Though the town has changed, its people remain resilient, a “salt of the earth” bound by shared history and community. Even after years away and a turbulent past in the care system, Sissay keeps returning — finding unexpected kindness and proving that human connection, and the power of place, endure.
