The Tories cut 70% of youth services funding in less than a decade.

Now, many young people have retreated online, which is impacting their mental health and puts them at risk of radicalisation.

A wealth tax can help fund mass investment in the youth services we desperately need.

The government claims it wants to stop small boats crossing the Channel, yet its new policies will make it harder for refugees to bring their spouses and children safely. This will push more women and children onto dangerous dinghies.

I asked the Home Secretary if this is really what she supports.

The government should be ashamed that its migration policies are being cheered on by Tommy Robinson and Reform.

Instead of standing up to anti-migrant hate, this is laying the foundations for the far-right.

I questioned the Home Secretary on how she can be proposing such obviously cruel policies.

Scapegoating migrants just lets billionaires off the hook.

Instead of pursuing ever-harsher stances on refugees and migration, we should tax the real culprits driving inequality and exploitation.

We keep hearing about “difficult choices” to justify spending cuts.

Real difficult choices are between heating and eating, paying your rent or your bills.

The housing crisis started with Thatcher and it should end with this Labour government.

Launch a mass social housing programme, scrap Right to Buy, and introduce rent controls.

A secure home is a human right and the essential foundation for a decent life.

It’s disgraceful that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor continues to hold his titles and lives in an effectively taxpayer-subsidised mansion.

This raises serious questions about how seriously our institutions take allegations of child sexual abuse.

Mandatory digital ID undermines our civil rights. It’s also divisive, expensive, and a distraction from the real issues: a cost of living crisis and soaring inequality.

So why is the government steamrolling ahead? Has it learnt nothing from winter fuel and disability benefit cuts?
