It is hugely impactful. However much you try to make it not impact the family, and we all do, and I desperately try to protect Vic and the kids, there's no doubting it has an impact on them.

We put the biggest investment into defence and security, and our international standing has been restored.

I go with good grace, I go with a smile, and I go proud of everything we have achieved.

It has been a huge honour and privilege to represent the best constituency in the country and to have taken over from Frank Dobson, who was such a great constituency MP and a member of the last Labour government.
