It's why I kind of find this podcast easy because, you know, she's quite blunt in telling me about my failures in past endeavors and she doesn't hold back.
And yeah, there's no soft landing there.
Yeah, she was like, oh, not again.
They've told you twice they don't want you.
Why are you doing it again?
Yeah, we know we've always just had honest conversations about it.
You know, she knows why I'm in politics and what I'm trying to do.
It is about...
changing the country to make it fairer i know that sounds a bit sort of corny to say that but it's exactly why i'm doing it in the same way that i stood to be mayor of greater manchester so she took some persuading to be honest because i guess she didn't want to see me go through it all again and then you know end out on the wrong side and you know at the end of it but she gives me good advice the funny thing that everyone laughs at in the
the famous Mary France Van Heel as she now is, I would be as a young politician, I'm talking 31, 32 when I was elected in Lee in the early 2000s.

that's amazing oh yeah well that's the kind of feedback i've had from her and um yeah it's probably relevant to this podcast oh i hope she listens to this podcast it will be up her street for sure great yeah she she she's quite forthright in that she's dutch and they don't hold back they're pretty plain speaking and uh yeah i've been on the receiving end of a lot of that over the years
So I loved my time at Cambridge.
I really did, loved it.
It was, well, it still is a magical place.
That's how I felt about it.
It was like a land that was so different to here, you know, a sort of blessed place.
And I so much wanted to be accepted there.
That took a while.
