  1. “She kind of floats in and she tells us why she's a supporter of Hillary Clinton, which is very lovely. I'll be honest, I was a little agitated. I wanted to get out and campaign. And then I thought, but, you know, this might be a quick thing. It went off for quite a long period of time. And then we were all queued up, I have to say, not with much choice to have a photo with Cher. And then we had to wish her well as she left. And it's the only time I've seen outside of a video of kind of North Korea where she had, I think maybe eight bodyguards run alongside her limousine until it got quick enough so it could kind of get away by itself.”

  2. “Yeah, well, so Eve of Pohl is really important for any election campaign because you've got to get out and remind your voters that they've got to get to the ballot box the day after. And in the US, it's broadly similar to the UK. You go out with a list of people who've been identified as your voters. You put a leaflet through the letterbox or in America they do these things where they hang these hangers on the door handle so that when the voter comes out in the morning, they remember to go and vote. And we were all called back to the campaign center. On Eve of Poll, which seemed very strange because really you should be out in the field, as they say in the US. And I thought maybe Hillary's here, because why else would they? Why else would they call us back? So we'll come back into this score sports center. We're all kind of herded into the corner and share arrives.”

  3. “No, no. I went of my own accord and I campaigned in Miami-Dade in Florida. And that was obviously the election when Donald Trump was first elected, you know, which was a very surprising outcome at that period of time. So it was quite an interesting campaign. And for me, it was around the time where I thought, actually, I might give up on politics because I'd lost the general election in my now constituency in 2015. I campaigned to remain in the European Union. I thought I'll go for a surefire campaign over in the US and help Hillary Clinton and then our sister party lost. And I thought at that point, maybe this isn't for me. But thankfully my now constituents gave me a chance to change my mind in 2017.”

  4. “You just realize, especially now you're in government that's what the American people voted for. President elect Donald Trump is going to be the president. Obviously we will work with him and his team in the way that we always do as a country and you've got to get on and deal with the world as you find it.”

  5. “I'm speaking for myself here as opposed to others. But no, I mean, you know, I woke up about quarter to six in the morning. And there are many of these scenes in my life, whether it's about Labour losing elections, thankfully now winning elections. I remember the outcome of the Brexit referendum, you know, American elections over previous years, some European elections. Once you've kind of been around that cycle a few times.”

  6. “Well, do you know, I've been involved in politics for so long now, whether it's about American elections or Brexit outcomes or general election wins or losses, you just say, okay, that's the world as it is, time to get on with the job.”

  7. “Well, I was, you know, I was surprised that President elect Trump won all of the seven seats in states in place, sorry, in the way that he did. I mean, you often expect based on the narrative that was coming out of America that it might have taken a few days to kind of really figure out the result, but it was a very conclusive win for Donald Trump.”

  8. “No, I didn't actually. I mean, in previous elections, I probably would have done, but I now have three children, the school run. It was the week after the budget. And I just thought I'm going to go to bed and get a good night's sleep and see where we are in the morning.”
