Our prisons are full of people who are illiterate and innumerate, have been failed by the care system, and often have had a parent in prison.

Like most people, my parents were only able to fulfil their dreams because there was support. A council home so they could save for a deposit to buy a home of their own. Fantastic local state schools where my own daughters go now. Affordable university places and good quality apprenticeships.

I look forward to the day that I can go with my daughters to the polling station for them to cast their first vote.

Opportunity must be underpinned by security - and Labour must offer that security.

As someone who lives with adult-onset asthma, I know how bad air quality in the capital has become. I want to be the greenest mayor London has ever had - it is not acceptable that 10,000 people die in London every year because our air is so filthy.

Being reliant on legal aid is probably inconceivable to most of us. But this is no different from other branches of the welfare state established at the same time as our legal aid system - being diagnosed with a major illness and needing the NHS, or losing a job and needing the support of social security.

Labour was founded to make the lives of working people better and to create more opportunities for everyone. Whether it's aspiring to work as a nurse in a hospital or setting up and running your own business, Labour should be about ensuring fairness so that everyone has the same chance in life to reach their goals.

It is not enough to pay lip service to diversity.

Victims want to know that the true perpetrators of their crime are convicted - legal aid helps achieve this.

Labour is at its best when we understand how the country has changed and we adapt to new circumstances.
