On the tree-lined avenues and spacious boulevards of Roundhay in Leeds, one can find many things: coffee roasters, yoga studios and independent bookshops. One can find one of England’s biggest city parks and detached houses that sell for an average of £572,000 a pop.
One, however, might struggle to find a single soul here who agrees with Liz Truss’s suggestion that this area – where she spent her adolescence – is a place with “low expectations and… lack of opportunity”.
