“I’m a first-past-the-post person, and always have been.”

The public want honesty from their politicians. Not showy gimmicks.

For voters what matters is what government actually delivers for them.

In seats where perhaps we don’t expect to win at the next general election, the new infrastructure gives us a chance to win local council seats and to build a campaigning base which could help us to win in the future.

I think there is a break down of trust generally, between people and politicians. I think that’s come about for a whole variety of reasons.

People feel that they’re being required to meet all sorts of regulations and rules and requirements in their areas of work and MPs are not imposing those sort of restrictions on themselves.

Not partial membership of the European Union or anything that leaves us half in, half out. No, the United Kingdom is leaving the European Union.

Labour completely accepts and recognises the vote to leave the EU. The question is what is the agenda for that process and that needs to be held to account in Parliament now and that means it needs to be open to a vote.

I will be ruthless in cutting out waste, streamlining structures and improving efficiency.

A lot of men in politics suddenly woke up to the issue of women in politics when they realised: hey, there are votes in this!

Countries across the world are taking action now to help them track paedophiles and terrorists who abuse new technology to plot their horrific crimes.

I want to put the interests of ordinary working people right up there, center stage. Those people who – you know, they’re working all the hours. They’re doing their best for their families and sometimes they just feel the odds are stacked against them.

I know there are some voices calling for a punitive deal that punishes Britain. That would be an act of calamitous self-harm for the countries of Europe, and it would not be the act of a friend.

It remains overwhelmingly and compellingly in Britain’s national interest that the EU should succeed.

In tough times, everyone has to take their share of the pain.

What is absolutely clear is that we have, with the U.S., an extradition treaty which is important, I believe it is an important treaty, for both sides, the United States and the United Kingdom. It is a treaty that I believe is balanced and we work on that basis.

Just as the police review their operational tactics, so we in the Home Office will review the powers available to the police.

The New York Times and the Washington Post are not going to fight the fights that I do.

The diseases of the present have little in common with the diseases of the past save that we die of them.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

There have always been poets who performed.

When I was fired from my post as General of the Fighter Arm

I attended a post-college program in L.A. for Music Business and Production.

Someone had to embrace positive beginnings before anyone could celebrate successful conclusions or continuations.

Posts after posts I scroll, trying to find inspiration to write, or maybe just looking for a will, to kick away the laziness, and get off this state of mind, but nothing happens, as I scroll on and on, with the clock ticking, I scroll my life away.
