Many people in my constituency come to see me absolutely distraught at the prospect of losing their private rented flat because of the imposition of a housing benefit cut. Social cleansing is going on in all of central London because of the benefit cap. That is a disgraceful situation.

Letting agencies are unregulated. They charge a search fee, which in some cases can run into several hundred pounds, but the search consists of no more than checking through a computer database to see whether they have any properties for that person.

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.

Of course I want to be [prime minister].

I also recognise that the mandate was given by hundreds of thousands of ordinary people joining in the political process.

Legal aid... is fundamental to giving everybody in this country access to justice.

The point in the report is that you shouldn't say to somebody just because they're Jewish, you must have an opinion on Israel. Any more than you say to anyone who is a Muslim you must have an opinion on any vile action that's been taken by misquoting the good name of Islam. I just ask people to be respectful and inclusive in their debate.
