I need to maintain a home in Derbyshire and in London to be able both to represent my constituents and to fulfil my responsibilities as an MP and as a minister.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I want Britain to be the home of successful competitive and stable financial services.
I'm based in London now. I'm renting an apartment, making my own little home. It's great because I am around people all the time and I need my own space to get away from it all.
I am seeking every day to restore faith in Parliament - to ensure we have a House of Commons which is representative, effective and reconnected to the people we serve.
I want London to be a competitive, dynamic place to come to work.
These are tough times and under this Tory-led government many people in Manchester are suffering and getting left behind. If elected I will use all my energy, skills, experience and knowledge to stand up for our communities and get things done for the better.
I don't think we can go into important local elections next year... with Tony Blair as leader and expect to keep many of the councillors we've got now.
I want to do something for Kirkcaldy and Fife. I am a full-time MP, not a businessman.
The House of Lords is the British Outer Mongolia for retired politicians.
I think a good MP is someone who cares for their community and becomes their champion, which is why I will make my home in any seat I am lucky enough to be selected for. Looks play no part in the equation, what matters is your ideas and connecting them to the electorate.
I grew up in North Yorkshire, but now London is home.
