I think it's been lovely the way people have been really supportive in parliament of my pregnancy.

Being an MP is quite a strange job, because you do it in two different places. Half the time I'm in Westminster and the other half I'm in my constituency and the job is different in both of them.

I was elected to Westminster when I was 25; I was Britain's youngest MP.

My five years' experience working in small businesses and a multi-national company have helped me as an MP to understand the challenges that businesses face, however the bottom line is that it's up to constituents to judge whether you are good enough to do the job.

Across society, the lion's share of caring responsibility - whether for children or elderly relatives - still falls on women.

Much of political decision-making concentrates power in the hands of those already inside the circle, who tend to be men. Excluding women may not be the intention, but when they are not invited into the room where decisions are made, you can see how it happens.

There is nothing that compares to the bonding between parent and child in that first year of life. Study after study shows how both parents being involved in the early weeks and months of a child's life is good for the child's development.

We need more men to talk about their experiences of being a dad with colleagues, friends and family. It shouldn't be surprising to hear about men being good fathers and it's one of the most powerful ways we can counter the harmful 'hapless dad' stereotype.

Being transparent about parental leave and pay policies will help build a workplace culture where men also feel supported in taking on their fair share of caring responsibilities.

Men want to play a bigger and equal role in raising their children, but as a society we don't support them in that.

When I was pregnant during my time in Parliament, I was frequently asked by the media how I would manage being an MP and a mum, as if the two are somehow mutually exclusive.

I want the UK to be a global leader in developing and deploying technology, but I also want us to ensure that the benefits are fairly shared across society.

Much of the responsibility to get more women elected is down to political parties. I am proud that a third of Lib Dem MPs are women, and I know we must work harder still to spot and nurture talented women at all levels in our party.

It's very hard for politicians to ignore even just a handful of letters about the same issue.

I rage when Boris Johnson is more interested in sucking up to Donald Trump than standing up for British values of decency, equality and respect.

Boris Johnson has only ever cared about Boris Johnson.

Those fundamentally liberal values - openness, inclusion, internationalism - are what truly represent the best of Britain, and it's those values that I'm determined to fight for as leader of the Liberal Democrats.

Our country deserves a party that isn't afraid to say immigration is a good thing, or to say that Donald Trump is racist, or to admit that we have an economic system that is fundamentally broken for too many people and is breaking our planet too.

To take on the forces of nationalism and populism, we need to rally a liberal movement that offers a positive, alternative vision for the kind of country we want to be.

Politics now is fractured. The rising tide of nationalism and populism threatens to consume our politics. Whether it is Trump or Putin abroad, or Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage at home, our political order is increasingly dominated by forces that seek to divide us.

While the problems facing the country are huge, it is in times of great disruption that we can make the most important changes to our society and help to rebuild our fractured, broken politics.

I believe there are millions of people across the country who are crying out for someone to stand up for liberal values.

There is no form of Brexit that will be good for our country but a no-deal Brexit will be the most catastrophic of them all.

No-deal Brexit can and must be stopped. To do that, MPs across Parliament who oppose it need to stand up and be counted. The options available are limited, and we must come together around a workable plan.

As minister for business and minister for women and equalities, it is clear to me that promoting equality of opportunity simply makes good business sense.

The UK's most forward-thinking employers already know they need to attract, retain and promote the best talent - both male and female.

Since signing up to Think Act Report, the majority of members are taking more action and publishing more information on gender equality.

So when your sister or your friend is standing there and moaning about whether she looks really fat, and actually she looks gorgeous, tell her so and support each other.

I'm concerned about the plight of children. But I'm not on a mission to get all the available orphans in the world adopted into Christian homes.

No one ever has the resources they need.

Every story of change there is always someone who didn't have the resources or the network they needed and did something anyway.

"How" is what kills vision and dreams. Don't ask "How" until we figure out the "What". The "How" can kill the "What".

Resources follow vision.

If a leader goes with their gut, it should be after listening first to people they trust.

If you want to know if I'm a Godly man, follow me home.

Charisma on stage is not necessarily evidence of the Holy Spirit.

When the house is on fire, don't tell me what your spiritual gift is. Just grab a hose and put out the fire.

In a volunteer organization there has to be time for community.

Two primary ways to keep volunteers motivated - Food and T-shirts.

We ask our volunteers, "Do you work here?" They say, "Not yet."

The more you expect from a volunteer the more you get.

If you are a local church or non-profit, you live and die with volunteers.

We always have more ideas than we can fund.

In leadership there are always problems to be solved and tensions to be managed. When you try to solve a tension, you create a problem.

Every local church has a leader but it seems so few local churches are being led.

Is Christianity fair? It is certainly not fair to God. Christians believe that God sent His Son to die for your sins and mine. Fairness would demand that we die for our own sins.

Christians are viewed as being "judgmental, homophobic, moralists" who think they are the only ones going to heaven and who "secretly relish the fact that everyone else is going to hell.

Blame is a change-avoidance strategy.

We want time in with our kids not time out.

There is a big difference between being a leader and actually leading.
