I& #39;m enjoying the hundreds of replies claiming I don& #39;t know anything about what voters on social housing estates think.
I grew up on one. That& #39;s why I& #39;m Labour - because my parents were tenants and on benefits and I was angry about the way Thatcher& #39;s government treated them.

I represented seven estates in central Hackney as a councillor for 12 years where one of Labour& #39;s most popular policies was Ken Livingstone& #39;s funding for six cops in every council ward, which meant visible policing reduced drug and gang crime.

Since 2014 I& #39;ve spent a disproportionate number of weekend #labourdoorstep sessions on the Blackbird Leys estate because that& #39;s where my wife is councillor.

I& #39;ve never canvassed anyone who thinks the police are overfunded. I& #39;ve canvassed a lot of people - mainly on estates as the poor suffer most from crime - who want more visible policing.

If we don& #39;t have a feel for the most basic attitudes of the voters that should be our core vote, we don& #39;t deserve to represent them.
