people
Sure, I've met with people I don't agree with.
reflects russian
NATO expansion and Russian expansion - one leads to the other, and one reflects the other.
people
My view is the questions in Parliament should be the questions that people out there want asked.
demands huge issues local supply
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.
democratic implement leadership true win
If the leadership can't win a debate, then we should show true leadership and implement the democratic will of our party.
council landlords truly
If there is 'right to buy' for council tenants and housing association properties, then why shouldn't that apply to all tenants? Some landlords are decent, very caring people, but some of them are truly appalling.
along nato shop shut war warsaw
I think NATO is a Cold War product. I think NATO historically should have shut up shop in 1990 along with the Warsaw Pact; unfortunately, it didn't.
education held
Because I've never had any higher education of any sort, I've never held in awe those who have had it or have a sense of superiority over those who don't.
experience none vast
I haven't had vast amounts of ministerial experience - in fact, none at all. But I do have a lot of experience of people.
against fact iraq pounds strongly students thousands voted war worth
I'm very proud of the fact that I voted against the Iraq war. And proud that I voted strongly not for students to be saddled with thousands and thousands of pounds worth of debt.
terrible time
Inequality is a terrible waste of time, a waste of people's resources.
collective politics
I want to see a more collective style in how our party operates, in politics as a whole.
absolute avoidance cabinet drawing half leadership level shadow talents women
For the absolute avoidance of doubt, my leadership will be about unity, drawing on all the talents - with women representing half of the shadow cabinet - and working together at every level of the party.
mind abuse remarks
I don't make personal abuse against anybody, I don't mind personal remarks.
