Thank you all for being with us. Holly, to what extent do you think the review had the correct scope and objectives? Was there sufficient detail in the 19 recommendations for them to be deliverable?

23 Jun 2026Cost of Living: Wythenshawe and Sale East

My constituents Darren and Nicole shared with me their story of hardship in raising five children on one income. Like me, they are grateful to this Chancellor for ending the two-child benefit cap. Will she consider an independent process for advising the Government on how much universal credit needs to be, if people ar

Hi Gavin. Thank you for being here. Of the two main parties, at least I can ask you the questions that I would like to ask of the other main party—but obviously they are not here for historical reasons. Without getting into the issue of what happened in 2022, because I will ask about that next, do you think the collaps

On the 2022 issue, I do not want to be critical of the DUP but, in people’s political zeitgeist, what do they remember about that collapse? Do they remember a technical protocol issue, or do they remember the fact that 90 MLAs had 730 days off legislating and scrutinising, on full pay?

I know, like all of us around this table, that it was to redress a grievance, and they carried on doing that.

My final question is about leadership—I can ask this only of you, because you are the only one here of the two main parties. It is a really difficult situation. We heard from Matthew O’Toole and Mr Tennyson about the political Parcheesi—about the blocking and the stopping rather than the creating and the common good. T
