Speaking to Jonathan Isaby over at Three Line Whip she says
I'd love to have done it, but the simple truth is that I can't physically afford to move up there from west Wales with my five children and give the seat my full-time commitment,
"I've not been able to find a job since losing my seat in the Welsh Assembly just over a year ago and I don't have a pot of gold, so I can't just go off and do what I want. It's the hardest decision I've ever had to make in my political life - harder than deciding to stand at the by-election. If I'd been in a different situation, I'd have loved to have stood again and hopefully won it back - as I do believe it will come back."
