The Budget must be viewed against the Deepest Economic Crisis that we have seen since the war - a crisis which must be spelt out time and time again so that the understanding of it is not limited to hon. Members, and so that it is fully appreciated by those whom we represent.

There is no greater example of the reasons for extremism in that area than that we now have a generation of young people who were only four years old in 1969 and 1970 and have grown up in a society in which they have always seen security forces and violence on the streets, in which they have been continually searched simply because they are young people, and in which, when they reach the age of 18, they have no hope of any employment because they happen to have come of age during the Deepest Economic Crisis for a long time.

That is bad for a political system that is in disarray and discredited, and appallingly bad when we are in the Deepest Economic Crisis that anyone living in this country has ever experienced and when it is urgently necessary to have some leadership and decisions.

That was at the depths, following the Deepest Economic Crisis and recession for 100 years, but it was still higher than in 2014, the year in which the highest number of homes - 117,720 - were built under the Tories.
