What do you think of the new Labour government 3 weeks in?

Transcript

00:00Do you think of the new Labour government now, three weeks in?

00:03They've hardly had a chance to get going. I don't think it's fair to

00:06form an opinion at this stage.

00:08Has anything made an impact on you so far?

00:11Not that I'm aware of, but I think it will do soon.

00:14What do you think could lead to that?

00:20Tax. Changing tax.

00:23Great question. I think really look at it from three sides. First of all, good luck

00:26to the team. Good luck to the Prime Minister, because after all, when you're living in the

00:30country, it's always important to support the leader of the country, regardless of how we feel.

00:36Now, being apolitical, my opinion is, with the government and the pledge with Labour

00:41in looking at more housing to replenish the shortage with the supply and demand we have in

00:46the UK, I would say good luck, but it's going to take more than rhetoric, more than statements,

00:51more than just bold policies that will have an impact on all the communities across England,

00:56Wales and Scotland, as well as Ireland. But I think really where the main key driving factor

01:01in here, where we talk about diversity, inclusion and equality, is you need to listen up. You need

01:07to take action and put a stop on what's going on in parts of the world where there are millions

01:11of people around the world that have been displaced. The focus should really be on an

01:15economic level. How can we add value to what we're doing on an economic level in Leeds, Bradford,

01:20Halifax, Calderdale, Kirklees? We're focusing on wars and going on around the world and we're

01:25taking money, increasing the level of debt in the economy, but what could we do as an economy,

01:30as leaders of the party, to focus on a micro level in helping those that are vulnerable,

01:35the ageing, the children, those who've got mental health, when the record levels with medication,

01:40where hospitals have been oversubscribed with patients, could it be the fact the government

01:45could utilise their funds in a more organised, pragmatic manner and be paid for performance on

01:50results, rather than just giving rhetoric speeches that really, with the next government

01:54that we're currently facing under the new leadership, could it be we wait another 20

01:58years before we see the real change? So change, after all, is automatic. Progress is in and

02:04after all, we really pray for the people that are in this country.
