And yet we see this government's reforms, you know, in some ways benefiting corporate landlords, benefiting, you know, people making vast profits off homes.
And, you know, we have thousands of homes...
remaining empty in this country during a housing crisis.
I think we have one of the biggest divides in Europe between lowest earners and highest earners in this country.
And there has to be a way to address that.
I was looking at research yesterday.
And, you know, I think it's an abomination that we have thousands of children homeless in this country when we have a huge surplus and unprecedented wealth.
And, you know, I make under 30 grand.
I pay some amount of tax for sure.
How do we address that inequality?
You have people making huge numbers of money in this country and people who are struggling to keep a roof over their heads.
So there has to be a way to address that and to equalise that some way in our society.
The state of our hospitals, the state of our public services and you want to see less spending on public services for people who are struggling to get good health care, to get education, childcare for their children and you want less investment in public services and more relief for people making, to be fair, very high amounts of money.
Average income is not high.
How can average income be high?
A lot of people are struggling in this country just to live.
And to be fair with the protests, there was, you know, a majority of people in this country supported the protests because they felt that struggle to survive.
Even when there's talk of great wealth in this country, people struggling to heat their homes, put food on the table and keep a roof over themselves.
