I'm A Lifelong Believer In Trade Unionism.

Actually, I Think It's Quite Sensible Not To Take Yourself Too Seriously.

My Favourite Novel Is Frederick Forsythe's Day Of The Jackal, The Story About The Unproven Case Of This Apparent Englishman Who Was Hired To Assassinate De Gaulle….

I Think That Former Leaders Are Best Seen Occasionally And Not Too Often Heard - Particularly On The Subject Of Their Successors!

Further Education Should Be About The Ability To Learn, Not The Ability To Pay - Everyone Who Is Able Should Have The Opportunity, Regardless Of Their Family Background. I Don't Want To See Students Struggling With Huge Debts Or Frightened Off Even Going To University In The First Place.

I Am Genuinely Not An Over-the-top Kind Of Person About Politics Or Anything Else.
