I have been an MP and government minister.
I've been blessed - every job I've had I've loved, whether it's as a lawyer, MP, cabinet minister.
I've never been an MP in government unfortunately and only know what it's like to be in opposition.
I have never tried to fiddle my role as leader of the city of Sheffield, as an MP or as a minister.
I was a very senior minister in the Howard government and I sat around this particular table [in the prime ministerial office] in many discussions. The difference between being a senior minister and the prime minister is that ultimately the buck does stop with the prime minister and in the end the prime minister has to make those critical judgement calls and that's the big difference.

I need to maintain a home in Derbyshire and in London to be able both to represent my constituents and to fulfil my responsibilities as an MP and as a minister.
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.

Bangalore needs a honest, passionate and hard-working MP, and I will be that MP.
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.
As an MP, I could hardly meet my constituents' genuine needs as the funds at an MP's disposal are meagre.
I have been represented as a Protestant minister; there was not one of the canvassers of the honourable gentlemen opposite that did not represent to the people that I was not a Minister of the Crown, but that I was a Protestant minister.
