I think the DWP system doesn’t support people into work.

People sent a 'very big message' to Labour in May’s local elections that they are 'not happy' and 'feel the party’s out of touch'.

Obviously, I’m setting out a campaign that’s about changing politics, so that we can change the country, and anyone who supports what I’m saying and the objective of the campaign is obviously welcome to join the campaign.

I don’t think you nationalise the whole thing necessarily straight off, because that’s complicated and probably expensive, but you look at the different situations in different parts of the country.

That’s why we need substantial reform and it is about a 10-year plan of more public control, more public ownership.

It’s not an industry that’s run in the public interest, and you know these are, as I say, industries run with the private vested interest, but the public have no choice but to use them, and therefore they’re trapped, and it’s just not fair.

Water companies should put these surging profits into lowering bills, improving services and protecting communities.

People are right to be angry that they are being asked to pay for bill hikes they cannot afford, only for their hard-earned cash to pour into the pockets of shareholders.

Forty years of neoliberalism in Britain has left us with essential services, which the public have no choice but to use, which work to serve private vested interests over the public interest.

There is simply no justification for profiteering on this scale when people are struggling with the cost-of-living crisis.

A vote for me is a vote to change Labour and ensure voters get the party back they used to know.

I want a situation that is fair but that recognises the concerns of all people and finds the point of balance and then brings people back together.

I'll be honest, yes. I've followed the debate as it's gone along over the years.

We'll have to work hard to get the balance right, but the broad thrust of what she's doing is right.

UK net migration needs to fall further

I want to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people.
