Whatever else I know, I know that if you invest love and care in any individual you can help them to make a difference, to write their own life story.

The first four months of my life were spent in care, before I was adopted by my wonderful parents - my mum and dad - Ernie and Christine. They went on to adopt my sister, who is profoundly deaf, and invested both of us with a love and support that informs everything I do today.

I notice that the number of cosmetic-surgery operations has risen by 34 per cent in the past year. Once we subtract Jordan, Jodie Marsh and Michael Jackson from those figures, we can see that demand overall may have stabilised.

I'm a decentralizer. I believe in trusting professionals.

In order to be able to reduce migration we need to be outside the European Union.
