If You Were To Describe Me As

I Can Hardly Think Of An Occasion When I've Got Into A Stand-up Fight With Any Political Opponent. I've Got My Views, People Know What They Are, They Can Agree Or They Can Choose To Disagree. I'm Not Going To Waste Time Just Rubbishing Everybody Else.

We Should Have High Expectations Of Our Children, But Politicians Should Not Tell Teachers How To Meet Them.

Befriending Provides A Valuable Lifeline To Many People Who Feel Isolated In Their Communities Often As A Result Of Ill Health Or Poverty. I Would Like To Thank All Those Who Volunteer As Befrienders And I Hope That Your Numbers Will Increase In Coming Years. Your Kindness And Hard Work Is, I Know, Very Much Appreciated By Those You Help.

My Approach Is Always To Try To Be Straight With People, Especially About What My Party Can Achieve.

Courage Is A Peculiar Kind Of Fear.
