Obsession with the market seem to prevent ministers looking at the huge problem and all its ramifications in health, education and employment that come from the housing insecurity that too many face.

Local authorities face huge housing issues with demands outstripping supply many times over; the only way those in housing need can be housed is in the private sector.

There is a self interest in voting for a society where there is health care for all, where there's a mental health service for all, where there is education service for all.

Basically, on the question of Europe, I want to see a social Europe, a cohesive Europe, a coherent Europe, not a free market Europe.

There are some people who have had no pay rises for a very long time, and, working in highly skilled and highly responsible roles and in the health services and education, they deserve to be properly remunerated.

It is important that politicians defend their ability to act without fear or favour, and it is in the public interest that they hold ministers and public servants to account.
