Member for Manchester Central (Lucy Powell)</phrase>, to her position. I hope she has now had that face-to-face conversation with the leader of her party about her party&#8217;s policies. I was intrigued to discover on reading her biography that she and I share the same birthday. I was less happy to discover that she is two years younger than me. All I can say to her about those two years is that I hope she accrues grey hairs at a slower rate than I have done.</p>
