Well, I had very mixed feelings about it, the whole thing, obviously. One is that I was delighted to see the end of the Tory government. And I was pleased, delighted to be elected as an independent member for Islington North. which was, to me, an enormous honour to be re-elected by the people that have been elected me 10 times before. So that was amazing.

And I was just sadly disappointed at the paucity of promise in the Labour manifesto. No real change in any international strategy and fundamentally accepting very orthodox economic theories for the future.

I fear it's going to be an attack on benefits. And we've seen a bit of a whiff of this with the promotion of the obesity vaccination to those people who are not in work. because of their levels of health problems or obesity. This is sort of headline grabbing, not very well thought out policies. So I look forward to listening very carefully to the budget next week.

So it's not going to affect you or me, or I suspect anybody watching this particular programme, but would bring in quite a lot of money that could be spent on the things that we actually need to spend on health, education, housing and environment.

Well, I was accused of having an over-detailed plan because we had two very long manifestos. And when we were writing them, I remember saying to my team, I was becoming slightly concerned that they were very long. And I said, look, Let's be careful. If we put out something that's overlong, it'll simply not be understood or would be ignored.

But they said, no, no, we've got to go into the campaign and go into an election saying exactly what we will do. So we did produce these very substantial, very detailed manifestos. And you know what? It's the largest number of accesses online of any manifesto ever was made in the 2017 election.
