country discovered emails places sent thousand weeks
After only two or three weeks in office, we discovered we had a backlog of 100,000 emails sent to me. We had a backlog of a thousand invitations to speak at places all over the country - and all over the world, for that matter.
country jobs real
I'm carrying on. I'm making the case for unity, I'm making the case of what Labour can offer to Britain, of decent housing for people, of good secure jobs for people, of trade with Europe and of course with other parts of the world. Because if we don't get the trade issue right we've got a real problem in this country.
country air people
It is a ludicrous statistic plucked out of the air and used to justify a quite appalling attack on many of the poorest people in this country.
country justice giving
Legal aid... is fundamental to giving everybody in this country access to justice.
country agency agents
If someone walked along any high street anywhere in London, and probably anywhere in the country, and looked into a letting agency, they would see a sign saying, 'No benefits here.' In other words, anyone in receipt of a state benefit is not allowed to apply for a private rented flat from that agent.
clearer include interested necessary objectives public
I'm interested in the idea that we have a more inclusive, clearer set of objectives. I would want us to have a set of objectives which does include public ownership of some necessary things such as rail.
concerned needs quite spend time urgent
I'm quite concerned that if I spend time in the office, someone will always find something for you to do. There's always a crisis that needs your urgent attention.
collective politics
I want to see a more collective style in how our party operates, in politics as a whole.
I'm not joining in personal attacks... I don't do personal attacks.
area best debate issues living normal north serious
I'm just a very normal person, living in north London, doing my best for my area and to put forward some serious debate on issues in the party.
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.
I've got lots of stamina; don't worry about that. I cycle every day - it's OK.
develop imagination union views
I want everyone to put their views forward, every union branch, every party branch, so we develop organically the strengths we all have, the imagination we all have.
