I think it is very difficult for somebody who campaigned to stay in, who thinks there will be disaster if we leave and so on to suddenly turn it around and start believing that we can make a go of it.

Actually I do believe we need a proper licensed regime that works better and is much more focused on animal welfare.

The great news is we have an all-female shortlist with no positive discrimination or anything, isn't that fantastic?

I made very clear at the time that the love of same sex couples is every bit as valuable as that of opposite sex couples but nevertheless my view actually is that marriage in the biblical sense is very clearly from the many many Christians who wrote to me on the subject in their opinion can only be between a man and a woman.
