Whether an MP is a woman or a man, it's about the qualities of the individual in doing that job.

I think that special relationship between the UK and the US has been an important part of security across the world particularly to the West.

The internet makes it much easier for politicians to communicate directly with voters - think of the interest when David [Cameron] launched WebCameron, or Tony Blair's rather embarrassing attempt to catch up on YouTube.

These modern means of communication are one reason why I recently opposed the Government's decision to grant MPs a new communications allowance. With new technology giving us the opportunity to communicate directly with voters very cheaply, why did Labour MPs vote for a £10,000 allowance to tell voters what a good job they do?

I look forward to continuing the debate about Britain's future - in Parliament and across the country.

I am a vicar's daughter and still a practising member of the Church of England.

The Government has already U-turned today and I think the pressure is clearly growing for proper accountability over what this Government's negotiating position is on Brexit.
