Sally is my wife, but not my chattel or my property.
A legislature cannot be effective while suffering from public scorn.
I've never been much given to little social cliques.
When I first started out in politics I was, what you might describe as, a hard right Conservative.
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.
One consistent thing in an otherwise inconsistent career is that I've always been passionate about parliament.
