I've Never Been Much Given

I'm Not Psychic. I Cannot Know What Is In The Mind Of Particular Public Figures.

I Pride Myself On Being Courteous To People, And Trying To Fashion Good Relations.

There's No Point In Worrying About Things You Can't Influence.

I Never Aspired To Be Speaker Simply So I Could Say, 'i Am The Speaker Of The House Of Commons,' And Tell My Children That.

I Am Seeking Every Day To Restore Faith In Parliament - To Ensure We Have A House Of Commons Which Is Representative, Effective And Reconnected To The People We Serve.
