History is what we read, write and think about the past.

The important thing when you are going to do something brave is to have someone on hand to witness it.

I believe abortion should be available to everyone, but the law should be changed. In the past I voted for a restriction to 22 weeks, and I would be prepared to go down to 20.

I am happy to debate the past with the Prime Minister... I have a big dossier on his past, and I did not even have to sex it up.

A common language is the most obvious binding element in any society.

We must rediscover the habit of thinking the best of each other

We're not saying, 'We're politicians, trust us.' We know you don't trust us.
