I am utterly ambitious. I'm ambitious for the sake of being so, too.

I refuse to believe this rhetoric that the Labour party can't get under one big umbrella with a common enemy - sometimes a common enemy is an absolutely delightful unifier.

The desire to look strong and decisive, instead of looking human, is the fatal flaw of so many politicians, and I will never understand why the favoured path of the political class is akin to a child with chocolate smeared on their face insisting that they didn't eat the edible Christmas tree ornaments while their parents slept.

My mum was always extremely political. I have fond memories of making signs as a child for the nuclear disarmament protests at Greenham Common, or helping her bake cakes for them.

My childhood dream was to be prime minister.

My mum taught me the power of protest.

Any MP who deals with immigration a huge amount, which I do, is going to worry about giving powers to the executive to change immigration law without scrutiny.

I do find it funny, actually, why I'm not more of a Corbyn fan. I am a classic Corbyn fan, really. Not so much on the foreign policy, but I'm leftwing, pro-immigration, pro-welfare spending, there's very little that we wouldn't agree on.

I was never a ringleader, but I was willing, when asked questions, to give my opinion. And when you say things quite bluntly, it's very easy for people to hang their hats on that.

I enjoy taking people on on Twitter, because often I'm cleverer and funnier.

I wanted to be an MP who was normal. I believe in politics, I'm a proud parliamentarian, and I want people to want parliamentarians again.

I'm stunned at the amount of young women who get in touch with me every single day, trying to become somebody like me. As a teenager, I would never have done that. And I was someone who was interested in politics. But I wouldn't have emailed the local MP.

I hate when people send me LinkedIn requests.

I would do whatever I could to make Jeremy Corbyn more electable, but you've got to give me something to work with, mate.

The greatest lie that was ever told is that I'm some sort of rightwinger.

In every single place I have campaigned in and every single place I have lived, people want some fairly basic things. They want to believe that they are safe, they want to know that their children will be educated and that if they are ill, they will be made better.

Boris Johnson needs to be challenged, with passion, heart and precision.

The fact that I stick up for women doesn't mean that I think all men are rapists. But that's lost somewhere in translation. Obviously I don't think that. I married one! I gave birth to two of them.

There's something wrong with the Labour party. There's something wrong with the fact that women never rise to the top.

I under no circumstances want to be seen as a victim. I have worked with victims of sexual violence and I don't have a candle to hold to the experiences of those victims.

There's not a single diet I haven't been on.

The trouble for lots of politicians is they worry so much about everybody liking every single thing that they do.

My favourite film is probably 'Star Wars'. I do love 'Starship Troopers', it is a great film but it's not a film I watch over and over again. Whereas 'Star Wars' I've watched over and over again all my life, and it's a film I can tolerate watching with my children.

Every day I receive messages that I'm not good enough, that I should lose my job.

I was politically complacent during the Blair years. Things were good and people thought things would be good forever.

As a woman, I don't trust Boris Johnson with my rights and that's largely because of the things that he has said and done in his political life.

To liberate women and end violence is to break down the culture of power imbalance.

When you're left on the floor of a hospital gasping for breath, or you can't get your kid a school place, the simplest things are your idea of radical.

We've all got to discover the courage to ask the difficult questions about the future of our party and the future of the working-class communities who need a Labour government.

People just don't believe we'll deliver what we say we will. They don't believe we want to listen or to understand their lives. And they don't believe we are able to do much to make their lives better.

Our challenge is to restore both trust in Labour as a party of government and trust in democracy as the best means of delivering what the public wants.

If we reduce the minimum voting age to 16, as we should, then people could be auto-registered when they are issued with a national insurance card.

Lisa Nandy is absolutely right that we need to devolve economic power away from Westminster and learn from what Labour councils around the country are doing.

Anyone standing for leader of the Labour party has a responsibility to speak truth, because without that we will never win power.

Today we're more distanced from each other, the bonds formed at the local shop replaced by the massive supermarket or the stressed driver thrusting a package through a letterbox. Instead of meeting in pubs, more of us sit at home with supermarket wine and Netflix.

For me socialism has never been an intellectual pursuit. It comes from my upbringing and experience.

I have felt the force of what governments can do. I remember my elder son being in the first cohort of kids who got a free nursery place, I remember the palliative care my mother got at home as I watched her die.

The politics of hope is harder to spread than the politics of hate.

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.

Rhe language of politics is experienced by most as spin with the assumption of dishonesty.

In the world of fiction, politics usually appears considerably more exciting than it is.

Political books are so often written from the perspective of the politicians, not from the point of view of the people.

I'm not usually one to heap praise on Jeremy Corbyn but I love that he doesn't drag his wife on stage for awkward snogs after his annual speech at the party conference.

In short, that politicians do or don't have families should no longer have any bearing on their abilities to hold office or to care more or less about the future of the country.

As a mother, I want the very best for my children. As a politician, I want what is best for all children.

I am not into self-exploration. My family would lose their eyes in the backs of their heads if people talked about personal journeys or finding oneself.

If a friend got a big promotion, I would outwardly congratulate them, but inside I would painfully compare myself with them and think that their success was a reflection on my failings.

When my children were little, I would chat with my husband or my mum friends about how we were superior parents to other people, or that so-and-so was lying about how their children slept through the night.

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