I did not in late November start the plethora of linking my private life with public events again.

I have built my reputation on honesty, I have sometimes been too honest.

I have always been honest about my recollection of events.

I regret the time and resources needed to undertake this but... it is right to lay this accusation to rest.

I have never tried to fiddle my role as leader of the city of Sheffield, as an MP or as a minister.

We have put over £2bn in the last three years into counter-terrorism and we are developing the electronic border surveillance and identity cards

I love the walk although my security team weren't too sure to begin with but I was anxious to be able to lead a near normal life. Whilst walking I do get the chance to meet people and keep in touch.
