What provides me with the strength and conviction to walk proudly among protesters so angry about the policies I endorse is the support I absorb when I am in my own constituency. Whenever I am at home, I am met with smiling faces, and words of thanks, even hugs.

The war against sexism is portrayed increasingly a battle long ago won. To which my response is, 'if only'.

By allowing many adult learners to retrain and upskill throughout their careers, colleges provide expertise for key sectors.

There is no single cause of homelessness, and vulnerable people, those with mental health problems and addictions for example, need support not punishment.

From a young age, pupils are put under immense amounts of pressure in high-stakes exams. Often, they're made to feel like their whole future depends on how they perform in these narrowly focussed tests.

Climate change is the biggest issue facing our planet. Extreme weather hit every populated continent in 2018, killing, injuring and displacing millions.

Sure, sexism is not confined to the Conservatives. Harriet Harman has suggested that Gordon Brown didn't make her deputy prime minister because she was a woman.

I like the idea of a Citizen's Assembly that has been used in Ireland, providing a forum in which to discuss the nuances of an issue before deciding if and how it should be put to the people.

Certainly anyone who complains of sexism is marked down as humourless.

One of my earliest memories is Mum telling me not to have as many sweets as the other kids because I put on weight so easily.

I became an MP in 2017 and have been around to watch Liberal Democrat party membership soar.

I believe that Brexit, whether it's a bad deal or no deal, is a big deal - too big for anyone to ignore - but it's not a done deal.

Brexit stops Britain from being Great Britain.

Hospitals don't have enough beds, staff shortages are being exacerbated by the uncertainty surrounding what Brexit means for EU nationals and our ability to access new cancer treatments is under threat.

And there were the health benefits of being slimmer. My size made me more likely to get type 2 diabetes and perhaps even cancer, and could have affected my fertility.

Brexit has certainly exposed an ugly underbelly of our democracy. It is clear to me that we must ensure that the many Leave voting communities must never be left behind again.

We need a completely different type of economy - one which is truly green, sustainable, and embeds the biggest issues of the day into its heart.

At the age of one, I was already heavier than most: doctors told my mum that she should start feeding me differently to the advice given by the health visitor. Yet I ate healthily, nothing was processed, and I was active and happy. But for whatever reason, I was on the bigger side.

I think we need to make access to mental health services a priority in the obesity strategy, too.

The creative industries, a source of optimism in recent years owing to, among other things, a resurgence on the world stage of British music, have come out foursquare against Brexit.
