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.

There is now I think a sound footing, a sound foundation, and the party can go on and win a second term, which is what I always thought we could do.

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.

And, I’m very proud of that. So I shall walk out with pride.
