All my life I've been interested in politics. I went on the miners march when I was six months old. My parents are really political.

Pressure and protest is fine, but using fear and threats to force politicians to sing to a certain tune will be the death of our democracy.

If the internet has taught me anything it is that people are either heroes or they belong in the bin.

The Labour party is not perfect but I have seen in my own life how it is the greatest vehicle for positive hopeful social change.
