  1. Yeah, and the language, there is no need for it. I'm not saying that people haven't learnt over the years how to make legislation. And that those processes aren't important. I'm sure they are, but they're not accessible. And I know that as a matter of fact, because I talk to people all the time in my own constituency, in my own family, in my own friend circle, who say, all right, okay, that happened, but what does it mean?

  2. I've never been in any gentleman's clubs, so I couldn't pass comment. But it's certainly, you know, it's not a place for work as if you like. So you go in there and everything, I said this in my maiden speech two and a half years ago, you go in there and it's not orchestrated to look or feel like the home of working people, even though most people in the nation are working people. It feels like, and there's lots of symbolism and there's lots of costumes and language to alienate those people.

  4. And then when I became an MP, and for the last two and a half years, yes, there have been points where I've been able to say what I believe and I think on behalf of a movement and the people that I represent.

  5. Yeah, I am, and I think the only feeling I can describe to you to tell you where I am at is really one of relief. It's a relief to be freed from Westminster and the empath that we were at. I am dedicated to a political project and you almost give your life to it because when you're left wing you are fighting against quite an organized system and the way you want things to run aren't how they are now. And before I became a member of parliament there are all sorts of ideas about what you want society to be like and when you get into Westminster you expect to be able to exert and express that politics and that politics that I was very transparent about in the movement.
