Outsiders often have an insight that an insider doesn't quite have.

The honest truth is that if this government were to propose the massacre of the first-born, it would still have no difficulty in getting it through the Commons.

I'm not the only Labour MP who sent their child to public school but I'm the only one who's questioned about it.

My mother liked Jim Reeves. I hated his records. He was unbearable.

I felt very committed to Stephen, and I didn't think he could manage without me. I wanted him to carry on doing his amazing work, and I wanted the children to have a stable family behind them - so we just carried on.

I've seen my own kids go through their own ups and downs, and as a mother, you want to make it better.

All parents believe their children can do the impossible. They thought it the minute we were born, and no matter how hard we've tried to prove them wrong, they all think it about us now. And the really annoying thing is, they're probably right.

I am a private guy, and at the end of the day, I only really do care about my family. That's the most important thing: my way of life, my family. Whoever is in front of that is going to get hurt.
