Time to nationalise Ticketmaster? “Cigarettes & Alcohol”, the Grenfell Inquiry concludes
We have to take action and do things differently. And part of that is being honest with people about the choices that we face, how tough this will be. And frankly, things will get worse before they get better.

Time to nationalise Ticketmaster? “Cigarettes & Alcohol”, the Grenfell Inquiry concludes
over 80,000 people lose their lives every year because of smoking. That's a preventable death. It's a huge burden on the NHS and, of course, it's a burden on the taxpayer. So, yes, we are going to take decisions in this space.

Time to nationalise Ticketmaster? “Cigarettes & Alcohol”, the Grenfell Inquiry concludes
More details will be revealed, but this is a preventable series of deaths and we've got to take the action to reduce the burden on the NHS and reduce the burden on the taxpayer.

Is Britain’s benefits system broken? w/ Caroline Selman and John Pring
The basic proposition that you should look for work is right. Obviously, there will be hard cases, but the way I would do it is to say, yes, that's the basic proposition, but we also want to support that so that more people can get into work.

Can Starmer’s upbeat note drown out the donation scandal? w/ Zoë Grünewald and Simon Kuper
I will never accept the argument made not just by the usual suspects, but by people who should have known better, who said that millions of people concerned about immigration are one and the same thing. As the people who smashed up businesses, who targeted mosques, attempted to burn refugees, scrawled racist graffiti over walls, Nazi salutes at the senator.

More money in their pocket to do the things they love. More faith in their public services because once again Labour rebuilt them. An NHS facing the future. More security and dignity at work. Town centres thriving. Streets safe. Borders controlled at last. Clean energy harnessed for national renewal. New homes, new towns, new hospitals, roads and schools. A new future for our children.

Starmer’s Garm Drama + the Government looks right on immigration w/ Zoe Gardner
But it was because I insist on the rules that my team reached out to make sure that we were declaring in the right way under the rules and then reached out again to the appropriate authorities, basically asking for advice about what's the appropriate way to deal with this in accordance with the rules. Thank you.

Inside out: How to fix the UK’s prison system + Labour embraces unpopularity
We're going to have to be unpopular. Tough decisions are tough decisions. Popular decisions aren't tough, they're easy. When we talk about tough decisions, I'm talking about tough decisions, the things that last government ran away from, that governments traditionally run away from.

Inside out: How to fix the UK’s prison system + Labour embraces unpopularity
I'm convinced that because they've run away from difficult decisions, we haven't got the change we need for the country.
