New year, old problems. Strikes, inflation, cost of living. The Prime Minister says he's going to tackle all that - and in addition, 'stop the boats' too - that is, stop the migrant boats crossing the Channel.

  • Lauren Sullivan, Labour's candidate for Gravesham in Kent

  • Vikki Slade, the LibDem candidate for Mid-Dorset and North Poole, and

  • John Howell MP, the Conservative member for Henley in Oxfordshire
