She explained: "My motivation was that I am passionate about my hometown, which is Hull - West Hull to be specific.

"You might think this is egotistical, but I passionately believed that I could represent the city better than the people who have been running the city for a very long time.

"I think I've got a different outlook, different approach, and that's why I ran not just once, but twice."
