Joani Reid: “He is a decent man. And a kind man.”

I will continue to talk to the police and other services about how we can keep people safe and our streets clear of those only out to cause trouble.

I agree with him, and I would sooner say it now than after more jobs are lost.

I am also deeply grateful to everyone who has stood by me when it was politically easier to distance themselves. You know who you are – thank you.
