When I First Started Out In Politics

I Don't Want To Crawl Over The Entrails Of Past Disputes.

Even Youngish Men Can Acquire Wisdom As Time Goes By.

One Consistent Thing In An Otherwise Inconsistent Career Is That I've Always Been Passionate About Parliament.

I Am Seeking Every Day To Restore Faith In Parliament - To Ensure We Have A House Of Commons Which Is Representative, Effective And Reconnected To The People We Serve.

If You Asked Me If I'd Rather Be Speaker Or A Very Senior Minister, I'd Say Speaker.
