At the moment I feel like a person who has just run a marathon or given birth to a baby, when asked if I will do it again my immediate reaction is to say 'no, not ever'. But who knows, perhaps I will feel like it once I have caught up with my sleep and my housework and had time to replenish my bank account.

If there's another election will you still be running Jackie? Well done on your campaign.

Best wishes to both Ann Marie Morris and Richard Younger Ross in their new lives.
Will it all change again in six months time?
