Whether an MP is a woman or a man, it's about the qualities of the individual in doing that job.

Theresa May

I do love the idea of being able to take an MP to court for lying. There are ways and means of taking an MP to court just now, but it is very difficult.

Mark Thomas

I wish more people knew that the only one of the three main parties where not a single MP flipped from one property to the next, and not a single MP avoided capital-gains tax, where every single London MP did not claim a penny of second-home allowance, was the Liberal Democrats.

Nick Clegg

Being an MP is a good job, the sort of job all working-class parents want for their children -- clean, indoors and no heavy lifting. What could be nicer?

Diane Abbott

Bangalore needs a honest, passionate and hard-working MP, and I will be that MP.

Nandan Nilekani

If you've got no base, it's very difficult to function as an MP. You cannot be a 'virtual' MP, you must be a proper one.

An MP is an MP whether male or female.

Ann Widdecombe

I did not have a second job while being an MP.

Grant Shapps

The duty of responsibility placed on any MP is one of the greatest honours that can be bestowed and I for one don't believe the Conservative Party would abuse that trust by selecting someone who did not have the goods to do the job, just for the sake of media coverage.

Adam Rickitt

Being an MP is quite a strange job, because you do it in two different places. Half the time I'm in Westminster and the other half I'm in my constituency and the job is different in both of them.

Jo Swinson

I've been blessed - every job I've had I've loved, whether it's as a lawyer, MP, cabinet minister.

Sadiq Khan

We all need Europe, not just those of us in Europe. And we Germans need Europe more than the others. Germany is the country with the longest border, the most neighbours, and is, by population and economic strength, the number one in Europe.
