I Don't Want A Headline

I'm A Lifelong Believer In Trade Unionism.

If You Were To Describe Me As Teetotal, On Behalf Of My Constituency I'd Have To Sue; That Would Lose Me Every Vote In The Highlands.

There Is No Satisfaction To Be Derived From Having Had Many Of Our Arguments Borne Out By Events.

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

I Want To See Far More Decisions Taken Far Closer To The Patients, The Passengers And The Pupils. Far More Power For Locally And Regionally Elected Politicians Who Understand Best The Needs Of Their Areas. And Far More Say Too For The Dedicated Staff At All Levels In Health And Education.
