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.
Culture is a reflection of values.
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.
No one anticipated the SNP wiping out Labour in Scotland in 2015.
The Liberal Democrats are unequivocal in wanting to stop Brexit and are committed to securing Britain's future as a tolerant, open and inclusive society.
Online hate needs to be taken as seriously as offline hate - but it isn't.
Twitter has made some improvements on the site and it's important that you can report people - but when you are getting the level of abuse I was, it's an onerous task reporting each and every person.
We strive for equality and equality in mental health matters as much as anything else. I see it as an imperative, not a choice.
If you walk into A&E with a broken bone you expect it to be fixed. If you need help because you've got a mental health condition you should get that help and support.
I have long argued for the arts to have the recognition and funding they need, not only because they brighten our lives, but also because they make a tangible contribution to our national economy.
Workers' rights must be respected.
The nature of most Covid-19 deaths, in hospital or a care home away from family and friends, has made it worse for the people they leave behind. In the absence of the traditional rites and rituals of funeral and mourning - the opportunity to just share a hug - the process of bereavement has been made even harder to bear.
Performers put their heart and soul into their art, and can be subject to highly personal attacks and criticism. The tone and language of reviews, or commentary on social media, can be bruising and severe. Everyone is a critic. All of this adds to the stress and anxiety suffered by people in the performing arts.
Stress is part of life. It is something we all experience from time to time. Sometimes it reflects our own busy lifestyles or key moments such as exams, moving house, organising an event, or coping with a bereavement. Often it is associated with work: meeting a deadline, dealing with difficult people, or meeting stretching targets.
Members of the workforce must feel valued.
