FORMER Redcar MP Dr Mo Mowlam has said that selling her North-East home was one of the hardest decisions of her life.
Talking about leaving Redcar on BBC1's Inside Out, to be screened at 7.30pm on Monday, Dr Mowlam said: "I found that was as difficult as leaving the government."
In the interview Dr Mowlam, who lives in Kent, also said why she resigned from the Government.
She said: "If you have lived and represented Redcar, you cannot be anything else but straight, because people would not have you. That is one of the reasons I left, because I could no longer talk about the government in an honest and direct way."
