People Before Profit has no confidence in the Minister for Justice or this Government. We want the Government to go. The Government is responsible for record levels of rent and homelessness and for almost record house prices. The Government is responsible for almost 1 million people being on some form of public health waiting list. The Government is responsible for not protecting people from the cost-of-living crisis, which has seen corporate profits soar while ordinary people have struggled to put food on the table. The Government is responsible for the deep inequality and deprivation, which still exists across our society while private landlords, big fossil fuel companies and private health companies make super profits.

It is those conditions which are exploited by the far right, turning people's legitimate anger, not against those who are responsible - the Government and the class it represents - but against some of the most marginalised and vulnerable people in our society, including asylum seekers, LGBTQ people and women. How has the Government responded-----
