Lara Bird: “Andy Burnham must change tact and match the SNP’s ambition to tackle child poverty.”

I think there's a really strong chance that we have a hung parliament in Westminster.

What I don't want is for other young women in my constituency, across Scotland, across the whole UK, to look at the experience that I've had and go, ‘well, I can't do that’, because that doesn't serve our national political conversation…

We need young women in politics. And I think that the ease and comfortability of directing so much hatred towards me can be pinpointed at the lack of accountability on social media as one example.

We have a really great opportunity at the next General Election to be in a position where that negotiation can seriously start with the next iteration of the Westminster government.
