Be A Doer And Not A Critic.

I Can Only Go One Way. I've Not Got A Reverse Gear.

I Didn't Come Into Politics To Change The Labour Party. I Came Into Politics To Change The Country.

We Have No Plans To Increase Tax At All.

For Me, 9/11 Was A Game Changer. It Altered My Perception Of The Security Threat We Faced. I Took The Position That Britain Should Be Shoulder To Shoulder With The U.s. It Was A Big Decision; I Didn't Take It Lightly, Or In Ignorance Of Its Consequences. It's A Big Commitment For A Country To Give, But I Believed It Was The Right Thing To Do.

I'm A Labour Politician, But, You Know, I Can See Decent Tories With Good Ideas.
