I believe that reducing the gap between rich and poor, both in this country and globally, is essential if we are to get on with one another and reduce intolerance, prejudice and violence
Heidi Alexander
I believe there needs to be more debate about the sort of society we want to live in and government’s role – this has never been more important than in the current economic climate
Heidi Alexander
I believe in the power of education to change lives and I believe that our schools are the best place to promote understanding between different cultures and to protect and nurture our diversity

It’s time to tackle the cost of living crisis
