I want a Labour Party that is more democratic, more open and listens to its members.

It's very lonely bringing up a child on your own.

I'm not thick-skinned at all, and of course I'm hurt by people attacking me as a person.

Finally, there's a sense in which I look at this Westminster village and London intelligentsia as an outsider.

There is no reason why the US and the UK cannot have close relations.

I'm not the only Labour MP who sent their child to public school but I'm the only one who's questioned about it.

Because when you watch US television, all the presenters and reporters, they're all out of central casting.
