Some people choose between food and paying bills. Labour must consider them when making decisions- Tracey Herrington writes for Big Issue

“We are all used to governments which don’t look anything like us: politicians who are privately educated, Oxbridge graduates who often have more private wealth than we can ever dream off. Starmer’s Labour government is different. His cabinet is a bit more representative of ordinary Brits, and includes people who have experienced child poverty, who have lived in social housing and worked low-paid jobs.”
