Being an MP is a good job, the sort of job all working-class parents want for their children -- clean, indoors and no heavy lifting. What could be nicer?
I'm a West Indian mum and West Indian mums will go to the wall for their children.
I'm not the only Labour MP who sent their child to public school but I'm the only one who's questioned about it.
When fast food is not a treat but a dietary staple, the children surf the internet all day in dark corners of the room and are bombarded with latest gadgets. Things replace parental standards.
I don't think you can have pain and soul-searching doing the right thing for your child.
It's very lonely bringing up a child on your own.
