In tough times, everyone has to take their share of the pain.

I am delighted to have won so much support from my colleagues. The Conservative Party can come together - and under my leadership it will.

I have not watched WAGs World, I have not watched the BBC's Upstairs, Downstairs, either. It would be Downton Abbey, I think.

I support selecting as many candidates as early as possible for lots of reasons. First of all I think it is important that every voter - regardless of where they live in the country - should have the opportunity to vote Conservative should they wish.

In seats where perhaps we don't expect to win at the next general election, the new infrastructure gives us a chance to win local council seats and to build a campaigning base which could help us to win in the future.

My night out would be with my husband, wherever he chose to take me.

Like Indiana Jones, I don't like snakes - though that might lead some to ask why I'm in politics.
