I'm pretty proud of having completed a marathon myself, so I can only imagine the pride that real athletes feel when they are picked for the Olympic or the Paralympic Games.

I love hard political debate and I love beating somebody on a political point but what I'm more frustrated by is the politics where you play the man not the politics.

While I'm leader, nothing will be off limits - there will not be one policy, one rule, one way of working which cannot be changed.

The government don't want to talk about the consequences of the choices they make. They pretend there aren't any consequences.

Maybe I was just born to argue with men.

The test is can you do something, rather than have a theoretical argument - can you make a difference?
