And we didn't have anything fancy.
We weren't from a posh, privileged family or anything.
We certainly weren't from any sort of political dynasty.
You know, we just went, we played out on our BMX bikes, we climbed trees.
We pretended we were in the 18.
We made up dance routines to 80s pop music.
You know, we just had a really lovely childhood.
And then going through school, Jo was really popular.
She was academic.
She was sporty.

You know, it's a different world.
And it does remind me of Parliament in lots of ways.

But what I love about Jo is that she stuck it out and she didn't give in.
And eventually she found her people.
