I have never found criticism is ever inhibited by ignorance.

History is apt to judge harshly those who sacrifice tomorrow for today.

I will not be able to carry the physical burden of leading the Party at the next general election. I hope it will soon be possible for the customary processes of consultation to be carried on within the Party about its future leadership.

To be alive at all involves some risk.

There might be 1 finger on the trigger, but there will be 15 fingers on the safety catch.

A successful current affairs television show seems to be more and more a cross between a music hall turn and a scene in a torture chamber.

After long experience of politics, I have never found that there is any inhibition caused by ignorance as regards criticism.
