Public ownership is absolutely an option.

Carrying knives for religious reasons needs to be looked at

So if that is running, I would seek to join it. But I'd have to persuade members of the parliamentary Labour Party to do the same. So that's the only question.

I think it’s right that the government are reviewing this…, because I don’t think this guidance that was issued related to the police race action plan has got it right.

I think there's a case to look at that again.. Although it needs a very careful debate.

But I'd have to persuade members of the Parliamentary Labour Party to do the same. So that's the only question... I've said to my team, let's have a proper look at this and let's develop a policy.

I'm not saying they're perfect, but confidence in Greater Manchester Police is rising in all communities actually, including the black community.

Not in Greater Manchester.

In the end, it took me a long time to realise that the system just simply was not set up to support places like ours, and it treated us as the bottom of the list rather than the top of the list.

I'm not somebody who gets ahead of myself. I can't do anything unless I'm lucky enough to get the support of people here. But if I get your support, I would seek to represent you at the highest possible level and give this constituency…

Obviously, the relationship is important to the UK, but not to the point where we just go along with anything they say. We’ve got in trouble in the past when that happens, so no, I think the approach that Keir has taken is the right one.

I personally believe, and nothing is new because of the byelection, that rerunning Brexit now would be a mistake, because it would just entrench that feeling of division.

I applaud the home secretary, actually, for the way in which she’s faced up to some of the issues that need to be gripped.

The public here gave us the clearest of messages in [the local elections in] May. They really are saying loudly now: ‘Politics isn’t working for us’ … If it doesn’t change at this moment in time, how many steps away are we from becoming as…

It is urgent, the need to fix social care, and I personally would look at all of the kind of implications of that in relation to inheritance tax and care charges and everything. I wouldn’t flinch from it.

I would seek to join it.

I want to make sure that these family-owned businesses, as the heart and soul of this country, are protected and given the chance to thrive.

Our high streets matter to me because they matter to the people who live here.

I am willing to be honest about where we have fallen short and say that my party has got this wrong in government.

Labour have got it wrong on small businesses.

It needs to be looked at although it needs a very careful debate.

You cannot control events in politics.

I think Wes Streeting seems to have launched a leadership contest, so if that is running I would seek to join it, but I'd have to persuade members of the Parliamentary Labour Party to do the same.

But if I get your support, I would seek to represent you at the highest possible level and give this constituency maximum power and influence.

I can't do anything unless I'm lucky enough to get the support of people here.
