Quotes

  • Ireland is our struggle. Every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us. A defeat in Northern Ireland would be a defeat indeed.
  • Ever since my colleagues and I have been in the house, there have been a series of incidents that give rise to concern. Our visitors are sometimes treated less than politely and deliberately misled … Visitors and we ourselves have been jostled. We have been challenged by attendants as to our identity in an unsubtle attempt to embarrass us. These occurrences are too frequent and have been going on for too long.
  • Being an MP is the sort of job all working-class parents want for their children — clean, indoors and no heavy lifting.
  • On balance Mao did more good than harm.
  • I’m a West Indian mum and West Indian mums will go to the wall for their children.
  • I think the public sector cuts have the potential to set back race relations and black and ethnic minority communities by a generation.
