If someone is being very cheeky, it can be quite fun to deal with that situation.

There are people who are just very, very sniffy and snobby and have always sort of looked down their noses at me.

I'm not in the business of warning people.

I don't want to crawl over the entrails of past disputes.

One consistent thing in an otherwise inconsistent career is that I've always been passionate about parliament.

For far too long the House of Commons has been run as little more than a private club by and for gentleman amateurs.

Lying to a committee is a very grave abuse, and there ought to be a clear punishment.
