We must never forget the 72 people who died in the Grenfell Tower.

We must change the system that was so unjust to ignore repeated alarms.

Too many people are still living in unsafe buildings because profit is being placed above people's lives.

It's not just a social issue, it's a class issue.

Insufficient LGBTIQA+ healthcare provision is a failure of government and creates a hierarchy of those who can afford it and those who cannot.

There's no justice for any of us without justice for all of us.

Housing is a human right.

People dying on the streets because they can't afford housing is a human rights violation.

There is something deeply broken in the UK and it has absolutely nothing to do with migrants, especially with 1 in 25 properties being vacant.
This should be the number one priority for the government. Instead more and more homeless individuals are dying.

Most are linked to suicide or drugs, with spice and nitazines increasingly deadly.

Good to hear a politician telling it like it is, standing up for ordinary people, for unity and for a stronger North.
