It's always been Labour policy to recognise a Palestinian state, and it felt like we got there too late. It was something that should have been really clear.
In regards to the carers, who were asked to come to this country to care for some of our most vulnerable and then we changed the goalposts years down the line, I think that’s very disruptive.
I am concerned about shifting 'the goalposts years down the line' for people who arrived in the UK at the beginning of this decade.
