For many young people mobility has turned into a bus down to the job centre.

I think a balanced team of men and women makes better decisions. That's one of the reasons why I was prepared to run for deputy leader.

I'm sure nobody wants to know this, but my husband does all the cleaning - rather too much cleaning. It is too clean, the house!

It is people's hearts that move the age.

I love to play different roles. That's just the kind of actor I am.
