Four more years

Obviously, I'm thrilled. To be vindicated in my strongest beliefs after four years is a matter for great satisfaction and humility.

Yes, there have been tough times. Tough decisions. But sometimes that's what this is all about, making a strong, resolute decision and sticking to it. Others would have flip-flopped, but we knew we had to take the fight overseas and we went right ahead and did it. It's caused argument and it's caused upset - but we knew it was the right thing to do.

Finally, I'd like to thank you, the people who made today possible. Without your energy, your support and your friendship we would never have made it to this historic point.

A drink, then, to our fourth wedding anniversary. Tom and Michelle xxx
