Baker: Ministerial role squeezed music and family time

One of the reasons Lib Dem Home Secretary Norman Baker stepped down is to concentrate on his passion for music.

The former minister is in a band called The Reform Club, for which he is "lead singer and lyricist", and even released a pop single Piccadilly Circus last year.
