See, a real local, which is an area of the constituency.

You described it as blighted by a mile long row of supposedly money laundering takeaways.

People said, oh, that's you doing the area down.

I mean, what would you say to that?

I love the honesty.

And I think this is a sidebar, but I think in Britain, in general, we have a problem with talking about class and understanding it.

I'm not claiming that I'm an expert, not at all.

But, you know, I grew up and it says on my passport, born in Barking, also reflects my mental health, I would describe it as.

And Barking and Dagenham is regularly named as one of London's worst boroughs.

And if you're from those places, I think if you're being honest, you know what's happened.

You know why it's happening.

And it's not the same as trying to punch the residents because at the end of the day, you feel that they should have the same chances as someone else in a different area.

And I think sometimes there's a tendency, particularly of like very comfortable middle class people, to almost want the working classes to sort of live crap, like stay living crap because it's authentic or something.

It's like, babe, this is not a takeaway.

This is not a meal.

These are people's lives.

Anyway, I find it quite refreshing when someone can be honest and say, yeah, I did live there and it was not nice, actually.

Well, also, let's talk about the multiple attempts to discredit your campaign from the right.

So people claim you aren't really a plumber.

I guess you could say it drives you around the bend.
