An employment tribunal ruled Sgt Zaheer Ahmed had been subjected to unconscious race discrimination and two instances of direct discrimination, due to his Pakistani ethnic origin.

The tribunal decided a white sergeant, who had passed his or her inspectors’ exams, would have faced fewer promotion obstacles than Mr Ahmed experienced.

The new mayor of Sheffield City Region, Dan Jarvis, has made no secret about wanting to pursue a Yorkshire wide plan for devolution.

But today, that has been heavily criticised by one of the original architects of city-wide devolution, Lord Jim O'Neill (pictured), vice chair of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership.

He says a wider Yorkshire deal needs to be more than an emotive argument based on identity, pride and branding:

So, Dan Jarvis has some convincing to do - not just to get the leaders across South Yorkshire to agree a deal here, but also to get the government to come round to the idea of One Yorkshire.

The long-awaited sixth album by the Sheffield band is called Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino and it's their first since the release of AM back in 2013.

A total of 54 Bradford fans and two Lincoln City supporters died in the disaster at Valley Parade on 11 May 1985, which saw another 250 people injured.

At the start of the 1985 game, Bradford City was presented with the Division Three championship title - the team's first trophy in 56 years - in front of 11,000 jubilant fans before the start of the season's last home fixture.

A former government minister has criticised the economic case for a Yorkshire-wide devolution plan.

The "One Yorkshire" proposal has the backing of 18 out of 20 council leaders and the new Sheffield City Region mayor Dan Jarvis.

However, former Treasury Minister Lord Jim O'Neill has said he does not believe a Yorkshire-wide proposal would deliver the necessary benefits to the economy.

Lord O'Neill also said it was "quite unlikely" the government would allow the One Yorkshire plan to go ahead in its current form.

O'Neill, who is now on the board of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership, has also questioned the commitment of the council leaders to the plan.

He's told the BBC: "Those who are most passionate obviously now publicly talk about everybody as being of one mind, but I'm pretty sure if you delve a little bit below the surface it’s not actually really true."

The Northern Powerhouse Partnership later said that it will offer to work closely with the proponents of One Yorkshire to make their case as strong as possible.

Mr Farmer said he will continue in his role as a ward councillor.
