"Quite a lot of people my age are struggling to find jobs."

"It's pretty desperate."

We went to the Isle of Wight to find out what issues will inform how the island will vote next week.

Thank you Rachel Aroesti

"there is actually something you can do: donate to Appeal, which rescued Malkinson and is helping many others. In a fair and just society, it wouldn’t exist – but, quite patently, we don’t live in one of those."
