I love not knowing what's going to happen next. With work, you never know. You rehearse and strive and get it right sometimes, and still you never know. Some people are like that with their marriages. They work and strive and labour and toil at them. God, what a bore! What an unromantic bore!

These modern means of communication are one reason why I recently opposed the Government's decision to grant MPs a new communications allowance.

Theresa May -
