I want to write a best-selling book.

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

When fast food is not a treat but a dietary staple, the children surf the internet all day in dark corners of the room and are bombarded with latest gadgets. Things replace parental standards.

I believe every abortion is a tragedy.

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.

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