I'm not someone who dwells upon past events, taking the view that life is too short

I don't want a headline saying 'Kennedy suggests this or implies that.'

For any new leader of any party at any given time it takes time if you are not in government to establish yourself.

My approach is always to try to be straight with people, especially about what my party can achieve.

It is true that I entered parliament at the age of 23, and have now been representing the people of my constituency for over twenty years.

We should have high expectations of our children, but politicians should not tell teachers how to meet them.

My health is good and it's up to me to keep it that way.
