So I spent my holidays reading and researching in the New Year, I met with Malcolm again, and I promised him I would do everything I could to help support the Labour Party into Government so we could abolish these national standards. And, like a dog with a bone, and with an election just months away, I joined the Labour Party. Seven years later, and three elections on, it's certainly been a rollercoaster ride. But I didn't get there on my own, behind me I had an incredible, united, and committed team that's gone from strength to strength.
