The technological revolution has the potential to liberate us or enslave us, and the road we take will depend on our politics.

It's absolutely crucial that we look at mental health not just through the prism of health but in a cross-cutting way.

We need to do more to raise awareness of perinatal mental health illness and address the stigma that still surrounds it in our society.

Britain is home to world class creative industries and talents.

Since I was first elected to Parliament in 2010, I have witnessed appalling attacks on Jewish people, including my fellow MPs.

I left the Labour Party because I consider it a racist endeavour. I could no longer, in good faith, knock on doors and say vote for me, and by extension get Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister.

The difference between the BNP and Labour is that the BNP was always a fringe party, never a contender for power.

Decent people must refuse to back Corbyn and his candidates.

In 2008/9 26,000 people in the U.K. relied on emergency food aid from a foodbank; which was 26,000 too many.

All too easily I have had people dismiss food poverty as an affliction of the workless and idle, insinuating that it is a way of life only for those who choose it. Yet the reality couldn't be more different.

Most people who rely on food banks are there through no fault of their own.

For many food poverty is the product of a toxic combination of low wages, austerity economics, spiralling food prices and lengthy delays to benefit payments, all of which should concern us.

There are a lot of myths about food banks, but the truth is that many people are increasingly having to turn to them just to put food on the table, including many in work.

Anti-racism is one of our central values and there was a time not long ago when the left actively confronted anti-Semitism.

As a university student and activist, I was attacked from all quarters from the far right to the far left.

Mental illness is a fact of life, like cancer or heart disease.

Despite being commonplace, too many people with mental health problems still face stigma, prejudice and discrimination.

Many of us grew up with colourful characters such as Tony the Tiger, Coco the Monkey and Ronald McDonald. These figures were designed to market products - from sugary breakfast cereals to hamburgers - to children.

As we confront the child obesity crisis, advergames that promote unhealthy foods to kids are a real cause for concern.

While a traditional TV advert might last for 30 seconds, a child can play an advergame for hours on end.

There is no excuse for using someone's mental health as a stick with which to beat them.

The sad truth is that millions of people with mental illness suffer stigma and prejudice, especially at work.

There are laws in this country to protect everyone and that includes the Jewish community.

Since I was a teenager I have been standing up to antisemitism, racism and discrimination in all its forms.

I've never been an MP in government unfortunately and only know what it's like to be in opposition.

I grew up when Labour was in power and I was able to appreciate the values and the difference the government could make. I joined the party as a teenager and its values run deep though my veins.

History tells us breakaway parties don't work.

We enjoy a growing awareness and literacy around the symptoms of and remedies for mental illness. Thanks to brave public figures and persistent campaigners, much of the ignorance and stigma has been reduced.

Mental health first aiders are not designed to replace mental health professionals, or to provide services on the cheap, any more than current first aiders replace paramedics or heart surgeons.

The point of a mental health first aider is to be a champion for good mental health in the workplace, to provide a safe port-of-call for anyone wanting to talk about their mental health, and to offer signposting to available expert advice and professional services.

Food poverty exists because of unemployment, low wages, high costs of heating, as well as problems at the DWP including delays in receiving social security, and the cruel and unfair Bedroom Tax.

By creating a generation of vulnerable people, especially children, with a poor, irregular diet, we are storing up a public health time bomb.

One in five women experience a mental health condition during pregnancy, or in the year after giving birth. It can affect any woman. And it can be devastating.

I can't think of any mother who would think twice about discussing the changes that happen to their body during pregnancy. But on top of this, we need to reach a point where they're comfortable talking about what might happen to their mind.

In order to really give mental health the focus and attention it deserves, we need to bring together and integrate all the services that provide women with the care they need. This includes the mental and physical health services, as well as social care.

The fact that some people are not as able to communicate concerns about their care must never mean that any less attention is paid to their treatment - or their death.

I am anxious that, in some areas, changes across Government departments are making things worse for our nation's mental health.

A failing social care system will have long-lasting repercussions for all, but it is women who are likely to be worst hit.

It is overwhelmingly women who will plug the gaps in care provision, sacrificing paid employment to look after family members.

Nothing undermines faith in our political system than politicians going back on their word.

To resign from the front bench is not a decision to be taken lightly.

As Liberal Democrats, our plan is to stop Brexit and with it the nurse tax and other barriers to E.U. nurses coming to work in our NHS.

When I started my undergraduate course at Birmingham University, as a Jewish student it was a natural step to join the Union of Jewish Students (UJS).

I'm very worried about the future for women in politics.

I suppose I have been contending with issues surrounding my safety and security for years.

If you don't support people with mental illnesses they are more likely to develop a physical illness too and that is challenging.

All governments could do more on mental health.

Banning smoking in vehicles with children in them will help protect them from the misery of smoking-related diseases, from cancer to asthma and emphysema.

If we can't behave and speak in tune with our values, then they aren't really our values.

Politics is no longer being fought on traditional political lines.
