Everyone starts from scratch. Everyone has to earn their place.

Just because someone was a minister does not mean they automatically come back as a minister again.

I want second chances for good people, for people who've their lessons for people who are showing that they know what they did was wrong.

Josh is someone who actually has been certified by the Home Office to train police officers on anti-Semitism and on countering extremism.

I think people can look at me and know that I'm not a person who would be recruiting neo-Nazis.

He should have done that and allowed himself to face questions from MPs. That’s what we’re elected to do.

What I will criticise Andy Burnham for is not coming to parliament after becoming prime minister.

I’m not going to criticise a politician for taking a holiday. I’m not going to criticise Andy Burnham for that.

Yes, he is somebody who had been previously convicted but he is someone who has shown contrition for his crimes, has been rehabilitated and is spending every day working to solve the very problem which he knew that he had caused previously.

I want to be very clear – and I think people can look at me and know that I’m not a person who would be recruiting neo-Nazis.

This is not just someone that we've picked up who is a convicted criminal - this is somebody who is actively working to help communities, especially Jewish communities.

He is spending every day working to solve the very problem which he knew he had caused previously.

There could be all sorts of reasons for any individual to be allowed or not allowed on the list.

Andy Burnham must prove he is serious by acting now to stop Labour’s early release scheme.

Without emergency legislation, dangerous violent and sexual offenders will be released at the start of September.

The situation with prisons is challenging but we never had killers, rapists, paedophiles on early release.

If Andy Burnham wants to prove that he is serious about this, he needs to revoke the commencement order...

We cannot say ‘no’ to every potential site for a prison.

We do need to build new prison places more quickly and cheaply.

If everybody says ‘no prison near me’, we won’t get these built.

I can't fix the past, what I can do is come up with solutions.

It's quite clear that the prime minister sees that this is a problem, but I don't think he knows what to do about it.

The tax burden has risen to a record high under Labour, and there is already speculation that you will increase taxes further at the budget this autumn.

Second, the money must be found by reducing current spending. You must rule out any tax rises, or increased borrowing that will ultimately fall on the next generation to pay for.

First, any solution to the issues around social care must also be fair to those who have made provisions and saved up over the course of their lives.
