Matthew Sisson is standing in Loughborough

Who is the living person you most admire?

George Monbiot – a rigorous, intelligent, investigative journalist with a heart.

What is your favourite TV programme?

At the moment? The Good Wife. Legal/Political drama at its best.

What song would you take with you to a desert island?

Broken Drum by Beck.

What new law do you want to introduce?

The NHS Reinstatement Bill. 84% of Britons think the NHS should be run by the public sector. Politicians should listen and ensure that’s the case.

What is the most important issue facing your constituents?

A stagnant economy and wages. 10 times more is spent per person on infrastructure in the South East than in the East Midlands. That needs to change.
