Too many people suffer with housing which does not meet their needs. I am campaigning for:

• More affordable homes so young people can afford to live locally;
• More family homes so families are not forced to live apart;
• More social housing so no one is forced to go without a home.

The economic crisis is hitting people hard. Many families have told me they are struggling to make ends meet. We need:

• Big, permanent tax cuts and for council tax to be axed;
• Smaller fuel bills with fuel companies made to pay for insulation;
• New regulations on financial institutions and banks.

Everyone knows someone who has been a victim of crime. Labour make new laws, but don’t take real action. I will work to ensure:

• ID cards are scrapped and more police are on the beat instead;
• The police target crime using intelligence not racial profiles;
• Young people are given opportunities not forced onto the streets.

   I join. So happens. We can communicate on this theme.
