Quotes

  • “Our system is not fit for purpose. It's inadequate in terms of its scope, it's inadequate in terms of its information technology, leadership, management systems and processes.”
  • “It's not my job to manage this department - it's my job to lead this department.”
  • “He said he did not believe the Home Office was "intrinsically dysfunctional... but I do believe from time to time it is dysfunctional in the sense it doesn't work".”
  • “Leadership isn't a zero sum game. When one of us shines it doesn't diminish the others, it reflects on all of us.”
  • “It's not Muslims versus the rest of us. It's evil terrorists on one side against all civilised people on the other.”
  • “If we in this movement are going to ask the decent, silent majority of Muslim men - and women - to have the courage to face down the extremist bullies, then we need to have the courage and character to stand shoulder to shoulder with them doing it.”
