A former MP for Chippenham has shed light on his choice words on former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher - and given his backing to current MP Michelle Donelan.

Juggling the two roles was a challenge at times, and Mr Needham frequently started his days in England with a customary drop to the ground, to check beneath his car before driving.
