And so I wanted to understand how stuff worked. That's why I read Basic Economics. And the more I read, the more I thought, you know, I should join this party. I wasn't actually thinking of becoming a member of parliament because I didn't think it worked like that. I should join this party and try and help out.

And after I joined, and also the social side, of course, and the fun, meet interesting people. I met my husband in the Conservative Party. So that's, you know.

Yes, yes. And that's how he met. And I just thought, this guy is always around and he's pretty cool. But it wasn't love at first sight or anything like that.

No, no, no, no. I think we were both actually quite suspicious of each other. And then the more we talked, the more we realized that we were, you know, we use the phrase brain twins, that we just think the same things on so much. And he had political ambitions himself. He did. And then he said to me one day, I think you're a lot better at this than I am. Do you think he's right?

Well, I'm now leading the party, so I think he's not. So I think he was right. But I wouldn't have been able to do this without his encouragement. I certainly wouldn't have been able to do it. And so if I hadn't met him, I probably I may have actually left because I wouldn't have been able to afford it. It's quite an expensive business being in politics. You take a pay cut.

So taking massive pay cards, but it was just, I needed something more than what my jobs in banking and engineering and software were giving me.

So I describe myself as a reluctant Brexiteer in the sense that I voted leave before I was an MP because I just couldn't see a way forward. We tried to negotiate and nothing was working. And we're giving this option. Leave or remain. My husband and I agreed on everything. He voted remain. I voted leave. And then I got into parliament and there was no plan.

And I thought this was completely insane. How can there be no plan? If you made everybody vote for something, you must have had a plan beforehand. And this is something that we keep doing wrong in UK politics. And the current prime minister has done the same thing of just talking, but not knowing how you're going to do something. We'll figure it out later.
